The second and third energy levels of an atom each contain 8 electrons. That is why there are eight elements on the second row (Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, and Neon) and third row (Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Potassium, Sulfur, Chlorine, and Argon) of the Periodic Table.
Per shell (maximum) is 2n2 , in which n is 1, 2, 3, ... 7 = shell number:
Depends on the number of protons and nuetrons
There are 2 valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell) of group 2 elements in the ground (un-ionised or standard) state. This causes them to form +2 ions.
All of the elements in group 1 on the periodic table contain the same number of outer electrons as sodium, which is 1.
Its elemental weight
If you are talking about the valance electrons any elements in group 5 on the periodic table will have 5 valance electrons.
They have the same number of valence electrons, or electrons in the outer electron shell. This allows them to react with certain elements.

There are 5, it is in group 5 on the periodic table of the elements
they have the same number of outer electrons
They are in the same column.

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, a column (group) contains all elements that exist with the group number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom of that element.
Elements in the second group have 2 outer shell electrons and also very reactive. What are they called?
A family is a column in a periodic table; all elements in a family have similar physical and chemical properties, because they have the same numbers of valence electrons (outer electrons).
All the Group 14 elements has 4 electrons in its outer energy level.
