There are four rings.

That, or they, would be the outer most shell electrons. The one(s) that get shared when elements bond. The one that moves out and up when struck by a photon. The one that makes light when it falls back down (gives up its' energy) to its' original shell. ADD: It is a valence electron.
Eight valence electrons would complete the out shell. If the outer shell was complete it would still be called the same thing, however the charges would be different.
Aluminum has it's valence electrons in the 3rd energy level. Others that also have valence electrons in n=3 would be Na, Mg, Si, P, S, and Cl. Argon also has a filled 3rd level.
The valence shell is the outter most shell that contains the most electrons. To find out how many valences there are you would mulitply the electrons. C3H8= (6)3 + (1)8=26 the outer valence shell will be 20.
Electrons are the subatomic particles responsible for most chemical behavior (with the notable exception of nuclear chemistry), specifically the outer or valence electron shells.The valence electrons are responsible mainly. But protons are responsible for nuclear reactions.
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.

It would become an Aluminum ion that has a 3+ charge
All noble gasses have 8 valence electrons which means outer electrons. As for electrons overall, argon would have 18.
Selenium
an aluminum atom will lose the 3 electrons on its outer shell 2 for an aluminum ion.
The outer shell of an atom is most stable or non reactive with 8 electrons. 1 or 2 valence electrons would be reactive. It also would depend if it's bonded with another element.
you would need a full outer shell so 8
13 protons would indicate the element is aluminum, Al. It has the electron configuration of1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1. In the 3rd energy level, there are 3 electrons, thus it has a total of 3 valence electrons.
Aluminum has it's valence electrons in the 3rd energy level. Others that also have valence electrons in n=3 would be Na, Mg, Si, P, S, and Cl. Argon also has a filled 3rd level.
The +3 on aluminum refers to its oxidation number. The oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom. In this case, aluminum needs three valence electrons to form an octet (to have a total of eight valence electrons). If aluminum were to react with phosphate, PO4-3, the two would share their valence electrons and balance out, forming AlPO4.
