The ability of an atom to loss this number of electrons.
Valence electrons and group number for metal are same. For non-metals, valence electrons are equal to group number-10.
Far from it. Aluminum has 3 valence electrons. The highest number is 8, which the noble gases other than helium have (helium has only 2). Metals can have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons, so aluminum has the greatest number that an element can have if it is a metal. Once you get to 4 valence electrons (which the element carbon has) you are in the nonmetal range.
Nonmetals attract electrons.

N and V have same number of valence electrons.The number of valence electrons is 5. V is a metal while N is a non metal.

There is one valence electron in lithium, also in every other alkali metal element.
In order to determine the number of electrons in the outer orbit/ valence electrons of a metal, first the total number of electrons needs to be determined. This is done by deriving the atomic number from a periodic table. Arrange these in the shell format of 2, 8, 18, 32... The number of electrons in the outermost shell are the valence electrons
Nonmetals attract electrons.
how many electrons it has---how many valence electrons and how many levels of electrons. its atomic mass its atomic number
highly mobile electrons in the valence shell
they are making metal bonds. that is the purpose.
How to determine these ions:metal cations: find the positive charge, and make sure it is qual to the group numbernonmetal anions: subtract 8 from the group numbertransition metals cations: the number of electrons lost
The element with atomic number 56 is barium, a group 2 alkaline earth metal. Its atoms have two valence electrons in the 6s sublevel.
