Periods Each row is called a period The elements in each period have the same number of shells Groups Each column is called a group Except for He, it has 2 electrons The electrons in the outer shell are called VALENCE ELECTRONS All elements in that group/family have same number of VALENCE ELECTRONS Transition Metals Transition Metals have slightly different rules for shells and valence electrons. This is something you will learn about in High School Chemistry. Determine the number of shells and the number of valence electrons for: Determine the number of shells and the number of valence electrons for: TIME TO PRACTICE Helium is the exception in Group 8. Since it has just one shell, that shell can only fit 2 electrons instead of 8. It is in this group because all the elements have a full outer shell.
