Valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. These are the electrons that will react to form compounds. To determine the number of valence electrons, one must look at the group numbers on the Periodic Table. Group 1A will have 1 valence electron, 2A = 2 valence electrons, 3A = 3 valence electrons, etc. When an atom has reached 8 valence electrons (noble gases), it is no longer reactive. That should help. c:
Copper has a valency of +1 and +2, meaning it can form ions with a charge of either +1 or +2.
We haven't seen your graph. However, it is easy to say what kinds of ions elements form. Metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
Plutonium typically forms ions with a charge of +4 or +6.
The most common valence is 2+ but other valences are also possible.
Molecules that have a high tendency to gain or lose electrons are most likely to become ions. Common examples include metals, such as sodium and potassium, which tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, and nonmetals, such as chlorine and oxygen, which tend to gain electrons to form negative ions.
Technetium valences are between -1 and +7; the most usual valences are +3, +4 and +7.
Valences of polonium are: 2, 4, 6 and -2.
Copper has a valency of +1 and +2, meaning it can form ions with a charge of either +1 or +2.
Ions with plutonium have valences between 3 and 7.
Plutonium has 20 isotopes (from Pu 228 to Pu 247).
Neptunium atom is neutral; ions of neptunium have valences between 3 and 7.

because the electronegativeties of these elements are low thy don't have much tendency to form negative ions
Oxygen is more electronegative than lithium, a metal. Oxygen has a tendency to gain two electrons so it will bond with two lithium atoms which have a tendency to donate one valence electron for bonding. Li2O
