8 valence electrons

To start off, the electrons on the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. You can tell how many valence electrons an energy level has by finding out its group number. If an element is in group one, than it has one valence electron.
To find the number of valence electrons for an atom, you need to look at its electron configuration. The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. You can determine the number of valence electrons by looking at the electron configuration or the periodic table. For main group elements (Groups 1, 2, 13-18), the number of valence electrons is given by the group number. For example, group 1 elements have 1 valence electron, group 2 have 2 valence electrons, and so on.
Boron must give up 3 electrons in order to achieve a noble-gas electron configuration.
Boron does not need an octet in its valence shell because it is an exception to the octet rule due to its electron configuration and bonding behavior. Boron typically forms stable compounds with fewer than eight electrons in its outer shell.

It needs only 1 more electron since it already has 7 valence electrons.

6 valence electrons need to be accommodated in the Lewis structure for OF2. This accounts for the oxygen atom's 6 valence electrons and the fluorine atom's 1 valence electron each.
To start off, the electrons on the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. You can tell how many valence electrons an energy level has by finding out its group number. If an element is in group one, than it has one valence electron.
Based on the octet rule, bromine requires exactly one electron to fill its valence shell.
Losing an electron cesium has a noble gas configuration.

Chlorine needs one additional valence electron to have a full valence shell, as it has seven valence electrons in its outermost shell and aims to have a complete octet with eight electrons for stability.
I believe you are talking about fluorine. If you are, F needs one more electron to gain a full shell.If you go to WikiAnswers for this information, that is counterproductive, because there is a much better way to do it. Look at the periodic table. Groups IA through VIIIA tell you what you need to know. IA has one valence electron, IIA has two valence electrons etc. Fluorine is in group VIIA and therefore has seven valence electrons. All atoms want eight, and thus fluorine is in need of one more.
