Transition metals
There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.
No, metalloids typically do not have a full valence shell of electrons. They have properties that are in between metals and nonmetals, which means they can exhibit characteristics of both types of elements.
Nonmetals attract electrons.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
In period 2 of the periodic table, lithium (Li) has the fewest valence electrons, with only one valence electron. It is located in Group 1, which is characterized by having a single electron in the outermost shell. Other elements in period 2, such as beryllium and the nonmetals, have more valence electrons.
hydrogen and helium

metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely
greater conductivity and higher melting points than nonmetals. Or D, because your looking at the STAR review packet. :)

Nonmetals attract electrons.
They have different numbers of valence electrons.
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).
Yes, nonmetals can gain electrons to fill their valence shells. By doing so, they can achieve a stable electron configuration, usually by reaching a full outer shell of electrons (usually 8 electrons, except for hydrogen and helium which only need 2 electrons).
