For some elements in groups, how can we determine the number of valence electrons they have just by looking at the periodic table?

• Not possible

• I have no clue

• No consistent way

• The group number they reside in

Match the method of determining valence electrons with the result

• Groups 3-12, Lanthanides/Actinides

• Look up

• Group 2

• 2 valence electrons

• Groups 13-18

• 2 valence!

• Helium

• 1 valence electron

• Group 1

• Drop the 1
