The family of "nobel gases" or the last row on the right. (Neon, Argon, and so on)
Mercury easily shares its valence electrons
Molecules or covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of valence electrons.
These electrons are called "outershell electrons" or "valence electrons."

Mercury easily shares its valence electrons
Molecules or covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of valence electrons.
the number of valence electrons determine the reactivity of the atoms
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. They are the electrons available for bonding and generally determine the number of bonds an atom can make
These electrons are called "outershell electrons" or "valence electrons."

alkaline earth metals or group 2 elements have two valence electrons and make +2 ion.
Valence electrons form the bonds between atoms in a molecule.
Mercury easily shares its valence electrons
Noble gases have completely filled valence electrons. so removla of electrons will make them unstable
Elements in the same family are related because of shared properties. For example, all the elements in the noble gas family do not react to anything and are colorless, nonflammable, odorless, and tasteless under normal circumstances.
Because they are the only ones involved in bonding. For example, when an forming an ionic compound one atom loses its valence electrons and one gains electrons to make its valence electron shell complete.
