The noble gases, otherwise known as group 18.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
Elements are located on the periodic table based off of their atomic number, but the vertical columns they are in (groups) show how many valence electrons they have. If an element were in Group 3 of the periodic table, it would have 3 valence electrons, and so on. This doesn't apply to the Transition Metals, so one should skip straight to Group 14, where the elements all have 4 valence electrons. Group 15 has 5, Group 16, 6, etc. The one exception to this is Helium, which is in Group 18 but only has 2.
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
The noble gases - group 18 on most newer periodic tables - are the most stable. They have a completely filled valence shell of electrons.
Seven , outer shell electrons or valence electrons increase as you move from left to right on the periodic table not including the transition metals which vary, they start with 1 valence in the alkali earth metals , and finish with 8 valence electrons on the noble gasses (group 18)
The alkaline earth metals (group 2 on the periodic table) have two valence electrons (electrons in their outer level).
3: For periodic columns 1 through 3, the number of valence electrons is the same as the number of the periodic column.
Valence electrons
The periodic table also has a special name for its vertical columns. Each column is called a group. The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Those outer electrons are also called valence electrons.
the number of valence electrons is directly proportional to the group number in which the element is forund in the periodic table. for example, chlorine is in Group 7 so it has 7 valence electrons.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
The elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and hence similar chemical and physical properties.
The elements that have the same number of valence electrons are located in a group.The group number from the Periodic Table relates to the number of electrons in the valence shell.For example, elements in group 1 (H, Na, Li, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) all have 1 valence electrons and elements in group 7 (Cl, F, I, Br) have 7 valence electrons in its outer shell.
The groups on the periodic table directly correspond to the amount of valence electrons in the outer shell of the elements shown. For example in Group 8 (gases) they all have full valence electrons which equals 8 in the outershell. An element in group 1 only has 1 valence electrons like hydrogen or sodium.
They have the same number of valence electrons, or electrons in the outer electron shell. This allows them to react with certain elements.
If you can find a dot diagram, look at the outer shell and count the electrons. The outer electrons is the amount of valence electrons.
