Both statements are true:
and
Yes.
Two electrons imply that the element is in the second period. The 4 valence electrons says that it is located in group 4A (or group 14 in modern notation). Hence, this element is carbon.The element has 2 electron shells means the element is in the 2nd group. This element is carbon. It has 4 valence electrons.
Elements in group 7A can only gain or share 1 electron.
The group of the element indicates the amount of valence electrons. For example, the alkali metals have one valence electron and is in group one whilst the halogens have seven valence electrons and are in group seven.
There is no non-metal with one valence electron. Every element with 1 valence electron belongs to the alkali metals family
This element is sulfur; the electron configuration of sulfur is [Ne]3s23p4. Sulfur has three electron shells cotaining 2, 8 and 6 electrons. The last six are valence electrons.

A Group 6A element gains two electrons A Group 2A element loses two electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons A Group 3A element loses three electrons group 1a element loses one electron group 7a gains one electron
There are only one electron. They are called alkaline metals.
You can determine how many valence electrons an atom has by what family the element of the atom is in. For instance, if the element is in family 8A, the number of valence electrons will be 8. Or, if the element is in family 2A, the number of valence electrons for the atom will be 2. So, whatever number family the atom is in, the number of valence electrons equals that.
Elements in group 7A can only gain or share 1 electron.
The group of the element indicates the amount of valence electrons. For example, the alkali metals have one valence electron and is in group one whilst the halogens have seven valence electrons and are in group seven.

The group that has a substantial affinity for electrons is group 17, the halogens. These elements have 7 valence electrons which makes them have the highest affinity for electrons.
This element is sulfur; the electron configuration of sulfur is [Ne]3s23p4. Sulfur has three electron shells cotaining 2, 8 and 6 electrons. The last six are valence electrons.
Barium is a group 2 element. All group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons. Thus, barium has 2 valence electrons.
The electron configurations of all the elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost shell of an element.
It loses 2 electrons and becomes a +2 ion.
