Oxygen combines by sharing its six valence electrons filling shell 2 through the share, or by adding electrons to the shell through ionization.
The next element with six valence electrons is sulfur with 16 total electrons, two in shell 1, eight in shell 2, and six in shell 3 which is now the valance shell.
Next we have selenium with 34 electrons, six of them valence and tellurium with 52, six valence. Polonium with atomic number (and electrons) equal 84 has six valence, and livermorium with 116 electrons, likewise.
The halogens, located in Group 17 (Group VIIA), tend to have seven valence electrons. They require only one more electron to achieve a stable octet configuration, making them highly reactive.
Iodine is in group 17 of the periodic table, which means it has seven valence electrons. When iodine is the central atom in a molecule, it typically retains all seven of its valence electrons unless it forms bonds with other atoms. In such cases, some of these electrons are shared with surrounding atoms, but the total number of valence electrons associated with the iodine remains seven.
Group 1 with one valence electrons
A total of 7 valence electrons. If I remember correctly, the number of valence electrons of all group A elements are designated by their group number. Chlorine is in group VIIA, hence 7 valence electrons.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
Any element in the halogen group will have seven valence electrons. These elements include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
The group of the element indicates the amount of valence electrons. For example, the alkali metals have one valence electron and is in group one whilst the halogens have seven valence electrons and are in group seven.
The name of the family is the Halogen family.
The halogens, or group 17
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).
Valence electrons are electrons that are on the outside "shell." In Group (column) 1, there is only one valence electrons for each element. In Group (column) 2, there are two valence electrons. Group 13: 3 valence electrons Group 14: 4 valence electrons Group 15: 5 valence electrons Group 16: 6 valence electrons Group 17: 7 valence electrons Group 18: 8 valence electrons There is no Group 19, so this list is done. For the metals, each element will need to be mapped out utilizing the Bohr Diagram design or something of the like as valence electrons are difficult to define due to the grouping on the periodic table. The most valence electrons that can be in an outer shell is eight. Barium (Ba) is in Group (column) 2, and thus has only two valence electrons.
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 halogens, located in Group 17 (Group VIIA), tend to have seven valence electrons. They require only one more electron to achieve a stable octet configuration, making them highly reactive.
