Group seven elements have 7 electrons in their outermost energy level.
8 electrons
5 valence electrons.
Carbon. Carbon is in the second period, so it has electrons in its second energy level, and it is in the fourth group in the second energy level, so it has 4 electrons.
Oxygen atoms have 6 electrons in the highest occupied energy level. They are two 2s electrons and four 2p electrons. All elements in Group 16 have 6 valence electrons. For Groups 13-18, subtract 10 from the group number and that gives you the number of valence electrons (the electrons in the highest energy s and p orbitals). The Group 1 elements have one valence electron and the Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. The transition metals can vary in the number of valence electrons. You can't necessarily go by group number for them.
Group seven elements have 7 electrons in their outermost energy level.
8 electrons
2. the number of electrons on the outermost level is always equal to the group number. Barium is group 2 therefore it's outermost energy level contains 2 electrons
group 2 (or the second column)
5 valence electrons.

noble gases
Five, Arsenic is in group 15
The noble gasses.
Group 18 elements have a stable octet.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
