Helium has two valence electrons
Helium... that's what i found in chemicalelements.com ... but on my science homework (Crossword) it doesnt fit because of the L in Chlorine. :/ Helium is a noble gas with 2 electrons. (Respond to earlier message:) I have the same science homework, and if it still helps, 18 down is Fluorine, not Chlorine. And 20 across is Helium.
Yes, except for helium which only two electrons. All noble gases are found under the noble gas family to the far right of the periodic table.
The Noble Gases are so-called because they do not readily react chemically with anything, due to their valence electron shells being filled with 8 electrons. The exception, of course, is helium, He, which only has 2.

Helium has two valence electrons
valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost energy level of bohr diagram for an element.
Helium has 2 valence electrons, and it's the only noble gas that doesn't have 8 valence electrons.

If by group A u mean Group 1, that would be one. Except for the transition metals, the # of valence electrons is equal to the one's place of the group #, except for helium because it can only have 2 and it is in the 8 group, but that is the group that has the most it can have.
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present

Yes, except for helium which only two electrons. All noble gases are found under the noble gas family to the far right of the periodic table.
The number of valence electrons in any element can be found from the element's group number on the periodic table. Phosphorus has a group number of 5 (15 in some periodic tables, in which case the valence is the group number minus ten). Thus, phosphorus has 5 valence electrons.

In theory 2 but in practice this has never been found. Helium is extremely stable and holds on to its electrons and does not share or "lend" them.
