Group 1: have 1 valence electrons (half filled s orbital)
Group 2: have 2 valence electrons (completely filled s orbital)
If the first energy level is complete with two electrons, then the elements hydrogen and helium have two elements in their electron configuration. Hydrogen has one electron in its first energy level, while helium has two electrons filling its first energy level.
When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
The highest energy level is called the "electronegativity".
All elements except hydrogen have two electrons in the first energy level.
the outermost energy level! ( :
Group 8A elements have 8 valence electrons. This means that the highest occupied energy level in Group 8A elements will have 8 electrons, as the maximum number of electrons in an energy level is 8 based on the octet rule.
Elements with five electrons in the highest energy p sublevel in their ground state are referred to as Group 15 elements. The p sublevel is the third energy level, and these elements are known as the nitrogen group. Examples include nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).
Electrons in the outermost principal energy level are called valence electrons.

Beryllium and magnesium have two electrons in their outermost energy level, as do all Group 2 elements.
