Hydrogen gas has the noble gas electron configuration with a single covalent bond; it only requires two electrons for this (you've probably heard the "duet rule").
Otherwise, in the right conditions, you can maybe combine two atoms in the 4A group (Carbon, Silicon, Germanium, Tin, Lead, etc.), or an atom in the 3A plus an atom in the 5A group. All other combinations would be considered ionic bonds.

How could Krypton react to achieve a noble-gas configuration?
Krypton is a noble gas and already has noble gas configuration.
How can krypton react to achieve noble gas configuration?
Krypton is already a noble gas and hence need not gain noble gas configuration.
Does group 2A gain electrons or lose electrons in order to achieve a noble gas configuration?
loses 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration
How could iodine atoms react to achieve a noble gas configuration?
Iodine accepts one electron to achieve noble gas configuration. Strontium loses two electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. Nitrogen accepts three electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. Krypton already has a noble gas configuration.
How many electrons does O need to achieve noble gas?
Oxygen should gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration
How could Krypton react to achieve a noble-gas configuration?
Krypton is a noble gas and already has noble gas configuration.
How can krypton react to achieve noble gas configuration?
Krypton is already a noble gas and hence need not gain noble gas configuration.
Does group 2A gain electrons or lose electrons in order to achieve a noble gas configuration?
loses 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration
How many electrons does cesium have to give up to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
Losing an electron cesium has a noble gas configuration.
How many electrons does carbon have to give up to achieve a noble gas configuration?
4 but it will need energy, so carbon gain 4 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.
How could iodine atoms react to achieve a noble gas configuration?
Iodine accepts one electron to achieve noble gas configuration. Strontium loses two electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. Nitrogen accepts three electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. Krypton already has a noble gas configuration.
How many electrons does O need to achieve noble gas?
Oxygen should gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration
How many electrons would calcium have to give up to achieve a noble-gas configuration?
Calcium has to lose 2 electrons to form noble gas configuration.
How many electrons must be gained or lost for selenium to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
Selenium should gain two electrons and lose six electrons to achieve a noble gas electron configuration.
What is the charge of nitrogen to achieve noble gas configuration?
-3 charge. Nitrogen has to gain three electrons to achieve the noble gas configuration of neon, so it will have -3 charge (as in N3- ion or nitride ion)
What kinds of atoms are most likely to share electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration?
They usually achieve "Noble Gas" configuration
What is the noble gas configuration of hydrogen?
There is no noble gas configuration for hydrogen.
