Identify the element in question, which is neon (Ne), with atomic number 10.
Recall that valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell (energy level) of an atom.
Determine the electron configuration of neon: 1s\^2 2s\^2 2p\^6.
Recognize that the first shell (1s) is full with 2 electrons and the second shell (2s and 2p) is the outermost shell for neon.
Count the electrons in the outermost shell: 2 (from 2s) + 6 (from 2p) = 8 valence electrons.
