By using the Periodic Table and the group numbers, one can find the number of valence electrons for elements in groups (vertical columns) 1-2 and 13-18. For the 1st 2 groups (1 and 2), the group number tells the number of valence electrons for elements which belong in that group Elements in the 1st group have 1 valence electron and elements in the 2nd group have 2 valence electrons.
For groups 13-18, refer to the tens' value (the teen value that is not the "1" in these cases). Elements in group 13 have 3 valence electrons, elements in group 14 have 4 and so on to the the final group, 18, where electrons have a full octet of valence electrons.

An electron in the outermost energy level of an atom is a?
The outermost electrons are called VALENCE electrons.
What is likely to happen to an atom with one valence electron?
This atom lose an electron.
When is electron a valence electron?
A valence electron is one that occupies the highest energy level for any electron in a particular neutral atom. (There may be more than one such electron in a single atom.) It is an electron in the outermost shell of the atom.
How many valence electrons does an atom of potassium have?
4
What is the difference between a electron and a valence electron?
While electrons can be on any layer, a valence electron is an electron that is found in the outermost layer of an atom and that determines the atom's chemical properties.
Is a valence electron the same thing as a electron?
Yes, but valence electrons are always in the outer electron shell of an atom.
What do the electrons in an electron dot structure represent?
It represents the number of valence electrons in the atom.
What are the electrons in the outer shell of an atom called?
valence electrons
Where are the valence electrones located in an atom?
On the outermost (or valence) electron shell.
Does valence electron of an atom exceed 4?
no
How can an atom that has five valence electron achieve a full set of valence electron?
i don't really now
What is a valence electon?
an electron of an atom, located in the outermost shell (valence shell) of the atom, that can be transferred to or shared with another atom.
