The elements in the same column of the Periodic Table share the number of electrons in the outer shell (vallence electrons.) The most electrons that can be found in the outer shell is 8. After the column number extends further than 8 you subtract 10 from the number. That meaning hydrogen, the first element on the periodic table, would have one electron on its outer shell.
