The valence electrons in a metal are held in delocalised orbitals which cover the whole lattice. This means that they are free to move through the whole structure. This freedom gives metals their special properties such as good electrical and thermal conductivity (because the electrons move easily) and malleability and ductility (because they bond the atoms together in any configuration).
One of the properties of metals is their tendency to lose valence electrons, in order for another metal to have complete valence electrons.

Most of the properties of a metal, including lustre, are due to the metallic bonding of the electrons.

2 valence electrons are in iridium because iridium is a transition metal. Most transitions metal would have 2 valence electrons because the group before the transition metals are the alkaline-earth metals which contains 2 valence electrons in that group making the transition metals have 2 valence electrons.

No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.You can easily determine the number of valence electrons an atom can have by looking at its Group in the periodic table.For example, atoms in Groups 1 and 2 have 1 and 2 valence electrons, respectively.Atoms in Groups 13 and 18 have 3 and 8 valence electrons, respectively.
