Judging from the electron configurations, it appears to me that all transition metals in their normal state have 2 valence electrons. If it isn't, what are the valences of the transition metals, why can they have many different valences, and what are the 1B-8B columns for?
Number of electrons in each energy shell:
Ar : 2, 8, 8
K : 2, 8, 8, 1
Ca : 2, 8, 8 , 2
(Transition Metals)
Sc : 2, 8, 9 , 2
Ti : 2, 8, 10, 2
V : 2, 8, 11, 2
Cr : 2, 8, 12, 2

Zn : 2, 8, 18, 2
Ga : 2, 8, 18, 3---------and so on.
