You can determine the number of electrons in the outer energy level of an atom by looking at its group number on the periodic table. For main group elements, the group number corresponds to the number of valence electrons. For example, group 1 elements have 1 valence electron, group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons, and so on.
Yes, elements in the same family on the periodic table share the same number of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom, and they determine the element's chemical properties. Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
The period number corresponds to the energy level on which the valence electrons are located. As you move across a period from left to right, the number of valence electrons increases by one. This helps determine the reactivity and chemical properties of elements within the same period.
When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
All elements in group four have FOUR valence electrons. This is easy to remember because the group number located at the top of the periodic table of elements corresponds precisely in all cases to the experimentally observed number of valence electrons in the elements. It is also important to know that the elements in group eight (the inert gases) all have eight valence electrons, meaning that they can neither gain or lose electrons in the way of bonding with other elements, thus the maximum number of valence electrons any molecule can have is eight.
Valence electrons for elements in the same group are the same because they are located in the outermost energy level of an atom. This common number of valence electrons is what gives elements within a group similar chemical properties.

Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
To find the number of non-valence electrons in an atom, you first need to determine the total number of electrons in the atom by looking at its atomic number on the periodic table. Next, subtract the number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost energy level of the atom, from the total number of electrons. The remaining electrons, which are not in the outermost energy level, are the non-valence electrons.
Oxygen atoms have 6 electrons in the highest occupied energy level. They are two 2s electrons and four 2p electrons. All elements in Group 16 have 6 valence electrons. For Groups 13-18, subtract 10 from the group number and that gives you the number of valence electrons (the electrons in the highest energy s and p orbitals). The Group 1 elements have one valence electron and the Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. The transition metals can vary in the number of valence electrons. You can't necessarily go by group number for them.
The group number in the periodic table tells you the number of valence electrons for main group elements. The group number is the same as the number of valence electrons, except for transition metals.
The number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an element in Group 15 is 5. Group 15 elements have 5 valence electrons, which occupy the highest energy level.
Elements in the same group on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and determine an element's chemical properties.
The period number corresponds to the energy level on which the valence electrons are located. As you move across a period from left to right, the number of valence electrons increases by one. This helps determine the reactivity and chemical properties of elements within the same period.
Halogen family members, or elements in group 17, have 7 valence electrons.
Valence electrons determine the reactivity and chemical behavior of an element. Elements with the same number of valence electrons exhibit similar properties and tend to form similar types of chemical bonds.
To determine the number of valence electrons from an electron configuration, look at the highest energy level (n value) of the electrons in the configuration. The number of electrons in this highest energy level is the number of valence electrons.
