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
The rows going across the periodic table are known as periods and contain elements with the same number of electron shells.
Elements that contain four valence electrons include elements from group 14 of the periodic table, such as carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and lead (Pb). These elements have their outermost electron shell filled with four electrons and display a variety of chemical properties based on this electron configuration.
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.
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.
The outer electron shells of the halogens typically contain seven electrons, making them highly reactive and likely to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Additionally, halogens have a tendency to form negatively charged ions when they react with other elements by gaining one electron.
No. Hydrogen and helium are separate elements. Elements do not contain other elements. But an element can give off or take electron from other elements.

Elements in the same column as sodium in the periodic table, such as lithium and potassium, also contain one outer electron.
One, the first shell.
Potassium and other elements in the same group as sodium contain the same outer electron configuration, which is one valence electron. This similarity is because they are all located in the same group in the periodic table, known as the alkali metals.
Elements in the same group as potassium, such as lithium and sodium, also contain one unpaired electron. These elements are in group 1 of the periodic table and have similar electronic configurations.
All elements in group 16 share similar properties because their valence shells all contain the s2p4 electron configuration.

Fertilizers contain multiple elements. The the ones usually singled out for specification are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
Except hydrogen, elements in group 1 are very reactive at they can give away their only electron in their valence shell easily to be ionized.
