The number of valence electrons determine the chemical properties of a particular element. For example, elements in group 1 tend to donate its valence electron away to produce its stable +1 ion. It also explains the formation of -1 ions from group 17 elements (halogens).
The ability of an atom to loss this number of electrons.
The number of valence electrons increases from left to right across a period.
All the noble gases have 8 electrons in their valence shell except helium which have 2 electrons in its valence shell.

The expected number of valence electrons for a group 3 A element is 5 number of valence electrons.

They have the same number of valence electrons
The number of valence electrons increases from left to right across a period.
All the noble gases have 8 electrons in their valence shell except helium which have 2 electrons in its valence shell.

The number of Valence electrons of an element is the same number as the element's group number. E.g. Hydrogen is in Group 1. Therefore it has 1 valence electron. Another e.g. Oxygen is in Group 6. Therefore it has 6 valence electrons.
Take the atomic number then subtract the amount of valence electrons. Example: Number of non valence (inner) electrons in Sulfur: 16 (atomic number) - 6 (valence electrons) = 10 (valence or inner electrons)
Two valence electrons.
3 electrons !

the number of valence electrons is the number group on the table its on
The group numbers tell the number of valence electrons. Without looking on the group number you can also tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the highest energy level in the electronic configuration.
