STABLE
There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.

The Bohr Model.
The atomic number generally. the atomic number is the number of protons(or electrons) an atom has.
Group 18 or noble gases.
If you're asking how will an atom with 5 valence electrons will achieve a full set of valence electrons, then the answer would be that they bond with other atoms to gain a full set of the valence electrons by sharing or gaining 3 electrons.
Either lose 5 electrons, which is least likely, or gain 3 electrons.
An atom with 4 valence electrons will have to either gain 4 electrons or lose 4 electrons to achieve a full set of eight electrons.
The overall charge of any atom is 0. This is because the overall charge is number of protons - number of electrons. For every atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons so it is 0.
Bohr's model
Atoms have different shells in order to prevent matter from collapsing to an extremely dense state. The increasing complexity of each shell allows for more electrons to be included.Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have identical quantum numbers. Only one electron can occupy a given quantum state at a time. That is, each electron in an atom has a unique set of quantum numbers.If there is no unique energy level for each electron, all of the electrons in an atom would pile up in the lowest energy state leading to collapse of matter.
It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion) If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons. Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.
If you mean "where are the valence electrons" then they are flying around the outside of the atom.If you mean "why" then I don't know. they're just there to be the outermost set of electrons.
