Typically, the valence electrons, the electrons in the outermost shell, of an atom are used in bonding.
Valence electrons describe the number of available electrons for bonding. The group number describes outermost electron. The elements in same group has same valence electrons.The number of electrons available for bonding are the valence electrons. In an element, the group number is equal to the number of valence electrons. So the number of electrons available for bonding can be identified by the group number.

Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.

No, generally the electrons on the outer levels are available for bonding.
These are the valence electrons.

valence electrons
Generally the core electrons.
Lithium have available for bonding one electron.
Two valence electrons
The group 16 elements have 6 valence electrons. However, they generally only have two unpaired electrons available for bonding.
Argon is a noble gas and being as its highest energy level is completely filled there are no electrons available for bonding in argon.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. They are the electrons available for bonding and generally determine the number of bonds an atom can make
