you just need a periodic table:
Group 1 (I) (alkali metals) 1
Group 2 (II) (alkaline earth metals) 2
Groups 3-12 (transition metals) 1 or 2*
Group 13 (III) (boron group) 3
Group 14 (IV) (carbon group) 4
Group 15 (V) (nitrogen group) 5
Group 16 (VI) (chalcogens) 6
Group 17 (VII) (halogens) 7
Group 18 (VIII or 0) (noble gases) 8**

i hope this helps

Ok, calm down.
The valence orbital for groups 3-12 is d.
Thus, the valence shell of each is:
3: 3d1 = 1 + 4s2 = 3
4: 3d2 = 2 + 4s2 = 4
etc.
Now, if you go to 16, well, anything beyond 12 reverts to p-orbitals.
Those have a max valence of 6.
Likewise, for 1-2, the valence orbital is s - max of 2
But remember to count all outer shells.

from group 3 to 12, those elements are called transition metals and they have their own special characteristics, such as formation of complex ions etc ,differing from the ones below each of them, they do not have group trends as other elements in other groups.

but group 13= 3 valence electrons
14=4
15=5
16=6

the B group (3-10+) has 2, (11) has 1+ and (12) has 2+

from 13-17, it goes like this: 3+, 4+, 3-, 2- 1-.

need anything?
