In Argon, Potassium and Calcium, the limit is eight, but because of the overlapping energy levels, In everything from Scandium upwards, the limit is eighteen.
Its atomic number is 7, and so it needs a further 3 electrons to fill its outer shell.
every element wants to fill the outer shell. That means if it is at 5 electrons it wants to get to 8. If it is at 3, it wants to get to 0.
6 electrons From the inside out, two, eight and eight.
Shell 1: Two electrons Shell 2: Eight electrons Shell 3: Eight electrons Shell 4: Eighteen electrons

Oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's valence shell which is why it forms a 2- ion.
Boron has 3 electrons in the outer shell and 2 electrons in the inner.
3
3 valence electrons. As the atomic number of boron is 5, it would have 2 electrons in the first shell and 3 valence electrons in the second shell.
there are a maximum of 18 electrons on the level 3 or the third shell
there are 3 valence electrons in the atom of aluminum
