This is hard to explain, sorry if it is vague for you, but I will try to make it clear.

The way you can find the number of energy shells is by looking at the ROWS of the Periodic Table of Elements.

Do you see the numbers on the far left side right underneath "Period Number"? Those are the numbers of energy shells!

Generally speaking, the column or "group" usually defines the number of valence electrons an atom has, ignoring the transition metals, lanthanides and actinides. Valence electrons are the electrons available for use in bonding and not in a completed electron shell. The row or "period" really doesn't say much about valence electrons or electrons in general, as you go down the rows the atoms get larger (speaking of atomic weight) and thus have more electrons.

The atomic number of the elements are generally mentioned in the periodic table. The atomic number of an element is same as the number of protons / electrons in a neutral element.

When is it necessary to start a new period in the periodic table?

Periods in the periodic table represent the number of electron shells necessary to fit all of the electrons. Once you fill the valence shell of an atom, the next electron must go in a new electron shell. This would constitute a new period on the periodic table.
