Thorium, with the chemical symbol Th, is the chemical element with the atomic number 90.
Take the atomic number then subtract the amount of valence electrons. Example: Number of non valence (inner) electrons in Sulfur: 16 (atomic number) - 6 (valence electrons) = 10 (valence or inner electrons)
The group numbers tell the number of valence electrons. Without looking on the group number you can also tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the highest energy level in the electronic configuration.
3 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).
Thorium, with the chemical symbol Th, is the chemical element with the atomic number 90.
Thorium has 90 protons. So for a neutral atom, there has to be 90 electrons. 230 is the total number of nucleons. ie 90 protons and 140 neutrons.
Thorium's atomic number is 90. Thus, thorium has 90 protons per atom. To be electrically neutral then, thorium must also have 90 electrons per atom.
Take the atomic number then subtract the amount of valence electrons. Example: Number of non valence (inner) electrons in Sulfur: 16 (atomic number) - 6 (valence electrons) = 10 (valence or inner electrons)
Thorium 230 has 90 protons and 140 neutrons - the difference is 50.
Two valence electrons.

the number of valence electrons is the number group on the table its on

There are 7 valence electrons!🤓
