For the most part yes. In some cases no, but for the majority it will be yes
Metals have s orbitals filled in their valence shells. This makes 1 or 2 valence electrons. Some metals gain configurations between the s and d orbitals. Non metals have s and p valence electrons, so they have 2 in s orbitals and up to 6 in p orbitals.
Elements with fewer than four valence electrons are typically found in groups 1 and 2 of the periodic table. For example, lithium (Li) and sodium (Na) have one valence electron, while beryllium (Be) and magnesium (Mg) have two valence electrons. These elements are generally metals and are highly reactive, especially the alkali metals in group 1.
there is no such element
represent a group of elements called metals. per novanet.
Neon has 0 valence electrons so it is not possible to have an element with fewer valence electrons. There can, therefore, be no such element.
Noble gases have a full valence shell with 8 electrons, while all other groups typically have fewer valence electrons. Transition metals have varying numbers of valence electrons depending on their position in the periodic table.
Metals have s orbitals filled in their valence shells. This makes 1 or 2 valence electrons. Some metals gain configurations between the s and d orbitals. Non metals have s and p valence electrons, so they have 2 in s orbitals and up to 6 in p orbitals.
Metallic elements tend to lose electrons. This is because metals have fewer valence electrons and a lower electronegativity compared to nonmetals, making it easier for them to lose electrons and form positive ions.
Neon has 0 valence electrons so it is not possible to have an element with fewer valence electrons. There can, therefore, be no such element.

All the elements in the first column of the periodic table (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium) have one valence electron. I also believe Helium has one valence electron.

The element in question is magnesium. It has 12 protons (more than sodium and less than argon), 2 more valence electrons than oxygen (which has 6), and 8 fewer valence electrons than neon (which has a full valence shell with 8 electrons).
Cl Chlorine
The element described is chlorine. It has 7 valence electrons, which is more than oxygen but fewer than neon. Chlorine has 17 protons, more than sodium but fewer than argon.
This would be Sb - Antimony.
