what term describes elements that contain the same number of valence electrons
group
Elements that contain the same number of valence electrons are referred to as being in the same group or column of the periodic table. This similarity in valence electron configuration often results in similar chemical properties among the elements in that group. For example, alkali metals in Group 1 all have one valence electron, leading to their characteristic reactivity.
group
Almost all elements have multiple valence electrons, there are only 7 that don't. They are: hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. The elements have 1 valence electron. All other elements have anywhere from 2 to 8 valence electrons
Argon does not contain valence electrons.
group
Group 16 (VIB or VIA) elements have six valence electrons.
Elements that contain the same number of valence electrons are referred to as being in the same group or column of the periodic table. This similarity in valence electron configuration often results in similar chemical properties among the elements in that group. For example, alkali metals in Group 1 all have one valence electron, leading to their characteristic reactivity.
Elements in Group 14 (Carbon family) contain four valence electrons. These elements include carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead.
group
The valence electrons in main group elements are typically found in the s and p orbitals. Group 1 and 2 elements have valence electrons in s orbitals, while groups 13-18 elements have valence electrons in both s and p orbitals.
Almost all elements have multiple valence electrons, there are only 7 that don't. They are: hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. The elements have 1 valence electron. All other elements have anywhere from 2 to 8 valence electrons
An example is silicon.
How many valence electrons do transition elements have?
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).

Argon does not contain valence electrons.
