An atom of an ELEMENT (X) has its K, L and M SHELLS filled with some electrons. It REACTS with sodium metal to from a compound NaX. The NUMBER of electrons in the M shell of the atom (X) will be Seven.In NaX, Na FORMS Na+ and X forms negtive ions. Thus, X gains one electron to form uni negative ion in which octet will be completed. Hence, X has 7 valence electrons.
