9) How many valence electrons does this atom have?
A.2
B. 3
C.8
D. 13

I think it's 2

Explanation:

Within each column, or group, of the table, all the elements have the same number of valence electrons. This explains why all the elements in the same group have very similar chemical properties. For elements in groups 1–2 and 13–18, the number of valence electrons is easy to tell directly from the periodic table.

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
