How many valence electrons are in noble gases?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the number of valence electrons found in noble gases, which are elements in Group 18 of the periodic table known for their stability and complete electron shells.

Answer

8 valence electrons, except helium which has 2.

Except for helium, all noble gases have 8 valence electrons.

Answer for screen readers

Except for helium, all noble gases have 8 valence electrons.

More Information

Helium is an exception among noble gases as it has 2 valence electrons, while others have 8, making them chemically inert.

Tips

It is a common mistake to assume all noble gases have the same number of valence electrons without accounting for helium.
