You mean valence electron? 2 If your talking about Bohr Diagrams then it depends on the metal
Group 2 metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Rn) have two electrons in their valence shell.
The alkaline earth metals (group 2 on the periodic table) have two valence electrons (electrons in their outer level).
The family of elements with two electrons in its outer energy level is the alkaline earth metals. This group includes elements like beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium. These elements are highly reactive and tend to form 2+ cations by losing their two outer electrons.
Elements with one to two electrons in the outer energy level are typically the alkali metals (group 1) and alkaline earth metals (group 2) on the periodic table. These elements are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose these outer electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Examples include lithium, sodium, and beryllium.
