Metals as found in the Periodic Table have no "extra" electrons. They are electrically neutral because they have the same amounts of protons and electrons or + and - charges respectively.
However metals react with non-metals to form Ions, cations to be more precise, in this case they actually lose electrons resulting in a positive charge. In other words, metals never have "extra" electrons, they either have a neutral charge or they are lacking electrons and have a negative charge.

How many valence electrons are in alkali metals?
one valence electrons
Do alkali metals contain 7 valence electrons?
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons do the alkali metals have?
1
What are metals that have 2 valence electrons?
alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electrons
What metals react with other metals what happens to the valence electrons of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
How many valence electrons are in alkali metals?
one valence electrons
How many valence electrons are in alkaline earth metals?
Alkaline earths have 2 valence electrons.
Do alkali metals contain 7 valence electrons?
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons in alkaline earth metals?
The alkaline earth metals are those in the same group as calcium; they have two valence electrons.
How many valence electrons do alkaline earth metals have?
The alkali earth elements have TWO valence electrons.
How many valence electrons are in iridium?
2 valence electrons are in iridium because iridium is a transition metal. Most transitions metal would have 2 valence electrons because the group before the transition metals are the alkaline-earth metals which contains 2 valence electrons in that group making the transition metals have 2 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons do the alkali metals have?
1
How many valence electrons do Cooper have?
Copper (Cu) has 2 valence electrons. It is located in the middle group of elements, called Transition Metals, and all transition metals have 2 valence electrons...hope that helped! =D
Does electrons in metals have few or many valence shell?
yes
How many valance electrons has alkali metals?
1 valence electron in alkali metals.
What do valence electrons in metals do?
Metals lose electrons in a chemical reaction.
What are metals that have 2 valence electrons?
alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electrons
