group
An example is silicon.
the group 4A elements
How many valence electrons do transition elements have?
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
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).
Almost all elements have multiple valence electrons, there are only 7 that don't. They are: hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. The elements have 1 valence electron. All other elements have anywhere from 2 to 8 valence electrons
