Halogens each have 7 valence electrons.
This electron is lost.
7 electrons are on the outer (valence) shells of all halogens
The number of electrons in the valence shell of a halogen is 7. What is probably the most significant feature of halogens is that they all are one electron short of the number of electrons required to fill their valence shells, eight. That means they will have similar chemical properties, i.e., they all are on the lookout to borrow one electron.
This atom become an anion with negative charge -1.
A halogen is located in group 17 of the periodic table, so the electron configuration for the valance electron would be ns2np5 (n=energy level). So all halogens have 7 valance electrons.
7

Halogen family members, or elements in group 17, have 7 valence electrons.
Well, the "happy" number in chemistry is eight. And alkali metals have one valence electron while halogens have seven so when they combine, the combination has eight valence electrons. This means it is full.
Fluorine is a chemical element in the halogen group. It's electron structure is 1s2 2s2 2p5. That means that it has 6 valence electrons.
Alkali metals have one valence electron.
One. A hydrogen atom contains only one electron, and it is a valence electron.
