Detailed explanation-2: -The Ba belongs to group 2 elements i.e. the alkaline earth metals, since the Ba is a group 2 element, the number of valence electrons will be 2.
Detailed explanation-3: -From the above method, valency of barium is two and that of chlorine is one.
Detailed explanation-4: -*Note that helium (He) only has two valence electrons.
Detailed explanation-5: -The number of valence electrons in boron (B) will therefore be 3.
