When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
They Share Electrons
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
Metals.
You mean valence electron? 2 If your talking about Bohr Diagrams then it depends on the metal
metal atoms being so close to one another that their outermost level overlap. Cause of the overlapping metallic bonds extend throughout the metal in all direction, so valence electrons can move throughout the metal.

In metallic bonding, valence electrons are delocalized and free to move among the atoms. This creates a "sea of electrons" that holds the metal atoms together in a lattice structure. The sharing of electrons in this way gives metals their characteristic properties, such as conductivity and malleability.
Helium has 2 valence electrons. Group 2 elements (alkaline earth metals) also have 2 valence electrons.
Non-metals have 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 valence electrons, respectively.
Metal atoms pool their valence electrons to form a sea of delocalized electrons in a metallic bond. This results in unique properties such as conductivity and malleability.
