Answer:
We can calculate the number of valence shell electrons by the group number from group number ,for 1 and 2 group,1,2 are valency or charge simply,for groups lying 3β8(boron to helium family)if number is between 3β4 the group number is the charge,if number lies between 5β8 then add -8 to it,it will give a -ve which would imply it's affinity for electron
mark brilliant plsss
