I don’t know what the “cheater” way is, however you can easily judge how many valence electrons an element has by looking at its group number on the periodic table.

Bonding in chemistry is completely and totally due to electrons. Every element wants 8 electrons in its outer shell in order to be stable. This is what we call the “Octet Rule”.

What is the kinetic energy of a 2,000-kilogram ball that is on the ground
Finger [1]
Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object.
Since the object is at rest on the ground, its velocity is zero.
Since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity, kinetic energy of the ball on the ground is zero.
