The alkaline earth metals in column 2 and the transition metals in column 12 of a wide-form Periodic Table.
alkaline earth metals
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).
The alkali earth elements have TWO valence electrons.
That depends on the element in question. Atoms can have anywhere from 1 to 8 valence electrons. For the main group elements, Groups 1,2,13-18, the number of valence electrons are the number in the one's place in their group number, as follows: Group 1 Elements: 1 valence electron Group 2 Elements: 2 valence electrons Group 13 Elements: 3 valence electrons Group 14 Elements: 4 valence electrons Group 15 Elements: 5 valence electrons Group 16 Elements: 6 valence electrons Group 17 Elements: 7 valence electrons Group 18 Elements: 8 valence electrons The transition metals, Groups 3 - 12, are more complicated because they are adding d electrons, some of which behave like valence electrons, and many transition metals can have different numbers of valence electrons. For example manganese can have anywhere from 2 to 7 valence electrons.
Halogen family members, or elements in group 17, have 7 valence electrons.
The elements in 3A all have 3 valence electrons.
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).
The alkali earth elements have TWO valence electrons.
helium has 2 valence has electrons. Group 2 elements also have 2 valence electrons.
alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electrons
How many valence electrons do transition elements have?
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
Group II elements (also called alkaline earth metals), have two valence electrons. To fill their outer shell, they therefore become ions with two positive charges, such as magnesium: Mg -> 2e- + Mg2+
All these elements have two valence electrons.
The group 16 elements have 6 valence electrons. However, they generally only have two unpaired electrons available for bonding.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
Halogen family members, or elements in group 17, have 7 valence electrons.
