Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in outermost shell of an electron.

For example, bromine (Br) is a member of halogen family that is, group 17.

This means a bromine atom has seven valence electrons. This means that bromine has seven electrons available for bonding whereas in order to completely fill its octet bromine requires only one electron.

Thus, we can conclude that there are seven valence electrons available for bonding in bromine (Br).
