The total number of elctrons in a full energy level is 2n2. So n=1, 2electrons; n=2, 8 electrons, n=3, 18 electrons
Atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outermost energy level by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and having a full outermost energy level makes the atom more stable. This stability is achieved when there are eight electrons in the outermost energy level, known as the octet rule.
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in its outermost unexcited main energy level. This allows fluorine to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons by gaining one additional electron through bonding.
Helium has a full outermost energy level containing only two electrons.
An atom with a full outermost energy level is considered stable. This means that the atom is less likely to form chemical bonds with other atoms to achieve a full outer shell of electrons. The noble gases, such as helium and neon, are examples of elements with full outer energy levels.
A full outer ring of an atom is when it has achieved the stable electron configuration known as the octet rule, where the outermost energy level is filled with 8 electrons (2 electrons for hydrogen and helium). This makes the atom more stable and less reactive.

Outermost energy level is full if there are 8 electrons in the valence shell.
It is the most stable element in the universe and does not need anymore electrons. Its outermost energy level is full.
helium
they need to either gain or lose electrons to create an octet. It depends on the atom. an octet is when an atom has a full outermost energy level
An atom in which the outermost energy level is more than half full tends to fill its outermost energy level by adding one or more needed electrons. Such an atom forms a negative ion.
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in its outermost unexcited main energy level. This allows fluorine to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons by gaining one additional electron through bonding.
If the atom is chemically stable it doesnt need to bond, it is chemically stable when the outermost level is completely full of electrons
This is because they want a full electrons of outermost shell
This is because they want a full electrons of outermost shell
Helium has a full outermost energy level containing only two electrons.
An oxygen atom can fill its outermost energy level by gaining 2 electrons through bonding with other atoms. This allows it to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons, following the octet rule. Alternatively, it can lose 6 electrons to achieve a full valence shell.
