Electron outer shell tee hee =^-^=

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?
No, generally the electrons on the outer levels are available for bonding.
The noble gases, otherwise known as group 18.
it needs six more electrons to have a full outer valence shell.

No. Xenon doesn't react, it's a noble gas (meaning it has a full outer shell of valence electrons).
Argon has eight valence (outer) shell electrons. It is a Noble Gas so its valence shell is full (Octet Rule).
the electrons on their outer shell, all atoms want to gain a full valence shell.

It depends, most atoms need 8 total valence electrons in their outer shell (some need 2). So subtract the number they have (determined by the group that the element is in) from 8 and that is how many they need to fill their outer shell!
Yes it is. It is a noble gas, and has ten electrons in it's outer valence shell making it full.
The outer shell of xenon is full with 8 electrons.
It's outer valence shell is full.
Sodium would need to gain 7 electrons to fill its valance shell. Instead of doing that, however, sodium will lose the one valence electron it does have, leaving behind the shell below it, which is already full.
A full outer ring, or valence shell, has 8 electrons, except for helium, which has 2 electrons.
