No, atoms with filled valence shells do not tend to form chemical bonds because a filled valence shell means the atom is already stable. It doesn't "want" to share with or take electrons from other atoms to become stable. Although sometimes, these atoms can be found in compounds, it takes a great deal of energy and forcing.

How many more valence electrons does magnesium need to have a full outer valence shell?
it needs six more electrons to have a full outer valence shell.
What is neon's valence shell?
Neon is a noble gas, thus It has a full valence shell of eight electrons.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of Ar?
Argon has eight valence (outer) shell electrons. It is a Noble Gas so its valence shell is full (Octet Rule).
Why is the the electron arrangement argon nonreactive?
Its valence shell is full.
How many valence electron's is in xenon?
Eight: the valency shell is full.
How many more valence electrons does magnesium need to have a full outer valence shell?
it needs six more electrons to have a full outer valence shell.
Why do atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
It is a matter of how full an atom's outer or valence shell of electrons is. For most atoms, the most stable setup is one with a full shell of 8 valence electrons, and an atom will gain or lose electrons to achieve this. For atoms with close to 8 valence electrons, such a chlorine (7 valence electrons, it is generally easier to gain electrons and thus become negatively charged. For atoms with few valence electrons, such as sodium (1 valence electron), it is easier to lose electrons and go down to the next lowest shell, which is already full.
Atoms with eight valence electrons form compounds easily?
No. Atoms and ions with a full valence shell are very stable. "Noble gases" such as helium hardly react with anything.
What is special about a full valence shell?
the elements having full valence shell donot react as they are inert in nature.
Is this true metals have a full valence shell of electrons?
No, only the noble gases in the far right column have a full valence shell.
Each atom is left with a what outer shell?
Electron outer shell tee hee =^-^=
What is neon's valence shell?
Neon is a noble gas, thus It has a full valence shell of eight electrons.
How many valence electrons will most elements have after forming an ion?
Atoms often form ions by losing or gaining enough electrons to end up with a full outer shell. How many electrons are in a full outer shell for most atoms? Don't know? How about Googling full outer shell?
Does Sodium have a full outer valence shell?
No.
What are atoms valence electrons?
the electrons on their outer shell, all atoms want to gain a full valence shell.
What group of elements already has a full shell?
Noble gases already has full valence shell
How many full orbitals and half-full orbitals are there in valence shell of krypton?
Krypton is a noble gas and hence has stable electronic configuration. Its valence shell configuration is 4s2 4p6 . Therefore, it has 1-s and 3-p full orbitals in its valence shell.
