Valence electrons and group number for metal are same. For non-metals, valence electrons are equal to group number-10.
The ability of an atom to loss this number of electrons.
The number of valence electrons increases from left to right across a period.
;need the same number of electrons to fill their valece shells ;have the same number of valence electrons
All the noble gases have 8 electrons in their valence shell except helium which have 2 electrons in its valence shell.
Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons. In fact, the number of valence electrons of elements can be deduced from the group number (e.g. group VII elements have 7 valence electrons).

They have the same number of valence electrons
Alkali Earth metals have a single valence electron, and are found in the first group.
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.
The number of valence electrons increases from left to right across a period.
;need the same number of electrons to fill their valece shells ;have the same number of valence electrons
All the noble gases have 8 electrons in their valence shell except helium which have 2 electrons in its valence shell.
Strontium has 2 valence electrons because it is part of the Alkaline Earth Metals or Group 2 of the periodic table which all have 2 valence electrons
Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.You can easily determine the number of valence electrons an atom can have by looking at its Group in the periodic table.For example, atoms in Groups 1 and 2 have 1 and 2 valence electrons, respectively.Atoms in Groups 13 and 18 have 3 and 8 valence electrons, respectively.
The group number tells you how many valence electrons there are, except for transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. So, for groups 1 and 2 , there are 1 and 2 valence electrons, respectively. Then it gets a little tricky. You skip to group 13, past the transition metals. What to do? You can't have 13 valence electrons. What you do is you use only the ones digit. Thus, metals in group 13 would have 3 valence electrons. The reason that the group number tells you the number of electrons is that that is the way that Dmitri Mendeleev ( the founder of the periodic table) set it up. Good Luck!
