Group 18 contains eight valence electrons, namely the noble gases.
Noble gases contain the least number of valence electrons, with a full outer shell of eight electrons (except for helium, which has two valence electrons).
Group 16 (VIB or VIA) elements have six valence electrons.
Valence electrons are electrons that are on the outside "shell." In Group (column) 1, there is only one valence electrons for each element. In Group (column) 2, there are two valence electrons. Group 13: 3 valence electrons Group 14: 4 valence electrons Group 15: 5 valence electrons Group 16: 6 valence electrons Group 17: 7 valence electrons Group 18: 8 valence electrons There is no Group 19, so this list is done. For the metals, each element will need to be mapped out utilizing the Bohr Diagram design or something of the like as valence electrons are difficult to define due to the grouping on the periodic table. The most valence electrons that can be in an outer shell is eight. Barium (Ba) is in Group (column) 2, and thus has only two valence electrons.

A bromine anion (Br-) contains 8 valence electrons. Bromine is in group 7A of the periodic table and has 7 valence electrons. When it gains an extra electron to form an anion, it now has a total of 8 valence electrons.

Group 1 with one valence electrons
Group 16 (VIB or VIA) elements have six valence electrons.

All elements in group four have FOUR valence electrons. This is easy to remember because the group number located at the top of the periodic table of elements corresponds precisely in all cases to the experimentally observed number of valence electrons in the elements. It is also important to know that the elements in group eight (the inert gases) all have eight valence electrons, meaning that they can neither gain or lose electrons in the way of bonding with other elements, thus the maximum number of valence electrons any molecule can have is eight.
A bromine anion (Br-) contains 8 valence electrons. Bromine is in group 7A of the periodic table and has 7 valence electrons. When it gains an extra electron to form an anion, it now has a total of 8 valence electrons.
2 valence electrons are in iridium because iridium is a transition metal. Most transitions metal would have 2 valence electrons because the group before the transition metals are the alkaline-earth metals which contains 2 valence electrons in that group making the transition metals have 2 valence electrons.
The Noble gas group all have 8 valence electrons.
Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons. In fact, the number of valence electrons of elements can be deduced from the group number (e.g. group VII elements have 7 valence electrons).
Since krypton is a noble gas in the group number 18, it has 8 valence electrons. Eight is the maximum number of valence electrons.
From one - e.g. Copper - to eight - e.g. Nickel.
