In the ground state, 8. The configuration would be 2,8,8.
A correct generalization about this is that every member of group 18 has a full outer energy level. For helium, the specific number is 2 and for all the others it is 8.
The number of valence electrons for the first 18 elements are: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
A period is a horizontal row on the periodic table of the elements. There are seven periods on the periodic table. Each period corresponds to the highest energy level that contains electrons. For example, the elements in the first period have electrons in the first energy level, which is the only energy level available; the elements in the second period have their highest energy electrons in the second energy level; the elements in the third period have their highest energy electrons in the third energy level, and so on.
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).

When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
the first energy levels hold 2, 8, and 18 a total of 28 electrons
All elements except hydrogen have two electrons in the first energy level.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
At the first level, protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Group 8
the atom
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
Group 18 elements have a stable octet.
All the electrons in the outermost shell are relevant for chemical reactions. For many elements, the number of such electrons is between 1 and 8, but for some of the higher-numbered elements, this number can be greater than 8.
