Identify the group number of halogens in the periodic table, which is Group 17.
Recall that the group number for main-group elements corresponds to the number of valence electrons for those elements.
Since halogens are in Group 17, they have 7 valence electrons.
Understand that valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and determine its chemical properties.
Therefore, a typical halogen atom possesses 7 valence electrons.
