Far from it. Aluminum has 3 valence electrons. The highest number is 8, which the noble gases other than helium have (helium has only 2). Metals can have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons, so aluminum has the greatest number that an element can have if it is a metal. Once you get to 4 valence electrons (which the element carbon has) you are in the nonmetal range.
No, aluminum does not have the greatest number of valence electrons. It has 3 valence electrons. Elements in column 18 of the Periodic Table (noble gases) have the maximum number of valence electrons, with helium having 2 valence electrons and radon having 8.

Nitrogen
The beryllium atom has 4 electrons and the valence is 2.
Valence electrons and group number for metal are same. For non-metals, valence electrons are equal to group number-10.
Helium has 2 electrons (total of 2 electrons and 2 valence electrons)
Aluminum has 3 valence electrons
3
Aluminum has 3 valence electrons.
Three
Boron and Gallium have the same number of valence electrons as Aluminum, which is 3.
Selenium would not have the same number of valence electrons as the others. Boron, aluminum, and gallium all have 3 valence electrons, while selenium has 6 valence electrons.
An aluminum atom has 3 electrons in its valence shell. Aluminum belongs to group 13 in the periodic table, which means it has 3 valence electrons.
Aluminum-25 has 13 protons and 12 neutrons. To determine the number of valence electrons, we need to look at the atomic number, which is 13 for aluminum. Since aluminum is in group 13 (or group IIIA) in the periodic table, it has 3 valence electrons.
An atom of aluminum in the ground state has 3 electrons in its valence shell. Aluminum has an electron configuration of 2-8-3, so its valence shell is the third shell, where the last 3 electrons reside.
The oxidation number of aluminum is typically +3, as it tends to lose its 3 valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Nitrogen
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.
