non-metals have between 3 and 8 electrons in the outer shell. You can tell how many they have by looking at which period they're in on the Periodic Table, period 13 elements have 3, period 15 elements have 5 ect.

How many electrons will metals generally have in their outer shell?
1 to 3.
How many electrons does Magnesium have in its outer most shell?
Magnesium has a total of 12 electrons. The electron configuration would be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2. Therefore, 2 electrons in it's outer shell.
An atom of element X has two outer electrons that do not fill the outer shell is it a metal?
It would be a non-metal and a halogen. Group 18 or the noble gases, all have 8 electrons in their outer shell. Therefore, the group before it would have seven electrons in the outer shell. This group is made up of all non-metals.
How is covalent bounds different from ionic bounds?
covalent bonds are when NON METALS share their electrons to get a full outer shell where ionic bonds are when a METAL and a NON METAL "give" each other electrons so they have a full outer shell.
How many electrons does does nitrogen and bromine have in the outer shell?
Nitrogen has five electrons in its outer shell and bromine has seven in its outer shell.
Does argon has the same number of electrons in its outer shell as magnesium metal?
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
What number of electrons in the outer outer shell of Cl?
A chloride anion contains eight outer shell electrons, one more than the seven outer shell electrons found in a chlorine atom.
What is similar about the outer shell of electrons in the alkaline earth metal family?

How do the outer electrons in metal atoms differ from the outer electrons in nonmetal atoms?
Those electrons are called the valence electrons. They are the ones that can be transferred and form bonds with other atoms.
