8 valence electrons (so do all of the other noble gases)
In Ne, the electron configuration 3s^23p^4 indicates that there are 4 valence electrons in the outermost energy level (n=3), specifically in the 2s and 2p sublevels. Valence electrons are important because they are involved in forming chemical bonds and determining the reactivity of an element.
Beryllium has two valence electrons.
The sulfite ion (SO3^2-) has 18 valence electrons. There are six valence electrons from the sulfur atom (Group 16, 6 valence electrons) and four valence electrons from each of the three oxygen atoms (Group 16, 6 valence electrons each).
The number of valence electrons remains the same as you move across a row on the periodic table. For example, in row 2 (elements from Li to Ne), all elements have 2 valence electrons. However, the chemical reactivity of these valence electrons can change as you move across the row due to the increasing nuclear charge affecting their interactions with other atoms.
Electrons in the outermost shell are valence electrons!

Radon has 8 valence electrons (electrons in it's outer shell) so does Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe. Helium is in the same line, but only has 2 valence electrons. Hope that helps! Sarah G.
Chloride Cl-: Ne,3s2,3p6 : has 1 valence electron accepted from metal XChlorine Cl : Ne,3s2,3p5 : neutral can donate 1, 3, 5 or 7 val. electrons, remains: 3p5->4,2,0 and 3s2->0 respectively, '->' means 'lowering to')Chlorine? Cl?: Ne,3s2,3p65 as in the questioned: unknown 65 is impossible,(mail my Mess.Board if you can give an other question.JdQ)

Seven.
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.
Neon atoms have 8 valence electrons. Refer to the related link for an illustration of the electron dot diagram for neon.
The electron configuration of sodium is [Ne]3s1.
Lanthanum has 3 valence electrons
