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.
Calcium has the same number of electrons available for bonding as magnesium. Both elements have 2 electrons available for bonding in the outer shell.
there are 5 bonding electrons. It depends on the number of valence electrons.
In order to have a net charge of zero, nitrogen can have three bonds. it will often have more or less than that number with a charge on the atom. Example: Ammonia (NH3) versus Ammonium (NH4+)
No. The lower (or 'more negative') the oxidation number, the more electrons the atom has. This is because the oxidation number is a measure of the charge on that molecule and, since electrons have negative charge, more of them give a more negative oxidation number. So if an atom loses electrons during bonding, it has lost some of its negative charge - giving it a more positive oxidation number.

false, it would be true if it didn't say ionic and instead said covalent bond.
number of electrons in the bonding shell vary according to the element. for example group 1 in the periodic table contains elements with ony one electron in their bonding shell, similarly group 2 has elements with two electrons in its bonding shell and so on. the group number in the periodic table denotes the number of electrons in the bonding shell of each element present in that particular group
Ionic bonding depends on the number of electrons. The number of neutrons is not relevant.
In the structure of CO2, there are 2 bonding electrons between each carbon and oxygen atoms, connecting them. There are no nonbonding electrons in the CO2 molecule because all the valence electrons are involved in bonding either between carbon and oxygen or within the oxygen atoms themselves.

You can find this information from the periodic table.

Electrons are the most important element in atom bonding. Each element has an atomic number based on the number of electrons, and it is the was these different numbers of electrons link up to each other that determines how closely they will bond.
it depends on the other number you are dealing with most of the time it is 5 but don't take that as an answer like i said it matters on the other number your dealing with
bonding electrons are when the electron have the same number and the connect,like valence electrons. Non-bonding electrons are only possible when an atom is unstable, no more than 2 electrons or if the atom is an isotope. bonding electron pairs occur in a covalent bond between two atoms. they include one electron from each atom in the covalent bond. non-bonding pairs do not take part in bonding. they are the left over electrons in the outter shell of the atom.
