How many valence electrons do the "salt formers"have?

I am confused of what the salt formers are but if you were to give me the amount of molecules or atoms I could tell you how many valence electrons there are

☆ionisation energy increases across a period from na -> ar☆ionisation energy decreases down a group from li -> fr☆ionic radius decreases across a period from na -> cl☆ionic radius increases down a groupfrom f -> ii hope it clarifies your doubts
