What is happening when an electron is removed from the valence shell of a noble gas?
Noble gases have completely filled valence electrons. so removla of electrons will make them unstable
What gases do not gain electrons?
Noble gases
What are the families that contain a full octet of valence electrons?
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of noble gases?
Helium has 2 valence electrons. All other noble gases have 8 valence electrons.

Which group contains eight valence electrons?
Group 18 contains eight valence electrons, namely the noble gases.

All noble gases except helium have this?
Helium has 2 valence electrons. All other noble gases have 8 valence electrons.
What is the outer shell of the noble gases called?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2 valence electrons) and have stable electronic configuration.
What are valence electrons and how do they relate to the noble gases?
Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell (or outermost energy level or outermost orbital) in an atom. Noble gases have 8 valence electrons. But helium (a noble gas) has only 2 valence electrons.
Which noble gas doesn't have 8 outer electrons?
Helium has only 2 valence electrons. The rest noble gases have eight.
Metals tend to gain electrons to attain the electron configuration of noble gases?
true, just not for Boron witch tries to gain 6 electrons for a stable arrangement
What are the noble gases and how they work?
The noble gases are elements with their valence band completely full of electrons: for helium this is 2 electrons, for all other noble gases this is 8 electrons. Because their valence band is already full they do not normally participate in chemical reactions.
