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.

2 electrons in the outer most shell would be Beryllium, Magnesium, or Calcium for example. And these are all metals. The exception to this is Helium, which has 2 electrons in its outer shell, but the first shell is an exception on this rule.

∙ 13y agoThat atom of element X must be in group 2.
Why? Because it has 2 outer electrons, that means this element is in group 2.

An element is inactive if?
It has a full outer shell of electrons.
How many element do the elements belonging two group IIIA have in there outermost shell?
Group 3 is part of the transition metal series. This means that the number of outer shell electrons the element has will depend on its oxidation state.
