2 valence electrons for calcium and 7 for chlorine.
Cl-Cr-Cl
Since Be is in the 2nd group, it should have 2 valence electrons and Cl should have 7 (in 7th group), and since there is 2 Cl, then there is 14. Add 14 Cl electrons and 2 Be electrons to get 16 electrons (valence, not total)
H, Li, Na, K = 1valence electrons Be, Mg, Ca = 2 valence electrons B, Al = 3 valence electrons C, Si = 4 valence electrons N, P = 5 valence electrons O, S = 6 valence electrons F, Cl = 7 valence electrons He, Ne. Ar = 0 because they are noble gases and all their electron shells are full
In general, except for the transition elements, the group number will tell you the number of valence electrons. For example, Na is in group 1 and has 1 valence electron. Cl is in group 7 and has 7 valence electrons.
Valence electrons are the electrons from the outermost shell of the atom. Number of valence electrons in an atom = the group number of that atom Valence electrons of a moleucle = sum of the valence electrons of all the atoms in that molecule. The molecule HCl has 1 hydrogen (group number =1) and 1 chlorine atom (group number =7). The total number of valence electrons in HCl = 1(1) + 1(7) = 8 Pushpa Padmanabhan Lansing Community College
Cl has 7 valence electrons.

In an atom of Cl, there are 7 valence electrons. If you look at a Chemistry Reference table (2002 edition) pages 8 and 9, (visit the link below), you can see that underneath Cl there are the numbers 2-8-7. The last number is the number of valence electrons. This is found for any element on the Period table.
H, Li, Na, K = 1valence electrons Be, Mg, Ca = 2 valence electrons B, Al = 3 valence electrons C, Si = 4 valence electrons N, P = 5 valence electrons O, S = 6 valence electrons F, Cl = 7 valence electrons He, Ne. Ar = 0 because they are noble gases and all their electron shells are full
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.
In general, except for the transition elements, the group number will tell you the number of valence electrons. For example, Na is in group 1 and has 1 valence electron. Cl is in group 7 and has 7 valence electrons.

Table salt is sodium chloride and have Na+ and Cl- ions. They have the electronic configuration of Ne and Ar respectively and both have 8 valence electrons.
Chloride anion has 8 valence electrons.
You will have 8 valence electrons around Cl (it usually has 7 but gained one from Li). There are no valence electrons to show around Li because it gave it's valence electron to Cl. Answered by a chemistry teacher.
the valence of CaCl2 is 2 because its not necessary that CaCl2 is always attached in hydrated form...... the basic thing which u study in your school classes that the outermost shell of both the element must be completed. so cacl2 has the valency of 2 because ca is electropositive. think it
