There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.

Boron is located in group 3A. It is group 13 in modern notation. This set of elements have three valence electrons.Boron is in the 13th group in the periodic table. Elements in this group has 3 electrons in the outermost energy level. That means they have 3 valence electrons.

The noble gases (group 18/VIIIA/0) are naturally occurring elements that have a full valence shell with eight valence electrons (an octet), except for helium which has two valence electrons (a duet). This makes these elements very stable and very nonreactive.
They will gain 3 electrons from something with 3 valence electrons.
An atom with 4 valence electrons will have to either gain 4 electrons or lose 4 electrons to achieve a full set of eight electrons.

It does.
The octet rule.
Either lose 5 electrons, which is least likely, or gain 3 electrons.

If you mean "where are the valence electrons" then they are flying around the outside of the atom.If you mean "why" then I don't know. they're just there to be the outermost set of electrons.
If you're asking how will an atom with 5 valence electrons will achieve a full set of valence electrons, then the answer would be that they bond with other atoms to gain a full set of the valence electrons by sharing or gaining 3 electrons.

The element is helium, with symbol He.
