How many electrons does sodium need to gain to get full outer shell?

Well other than the fact that it needs to lose one (group 1) normally in an ionic compound (metal and non metal bonding), it would be different seeming how your teacher/tutor defines it.

How many electrons does sodium need to loss to get a full outer shell?
One, because it is a group 1 metal.
Argon is a stable gas with a very high ionization energy Which statement explains why?
It has a full outer shell of electrons
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.
An element is inactive if?
It has a full outer shell of electrons.
Why are Sodium and Chlorine not stable elements?
Sodium and Chlorine are chemically unstable due to the amount of electrons each has in the outer shells (also known as layers) of their atoms. Sodium has 11 electrons. First shell: 2 electrons Second shell: 8 electrons Third shell: 1 electron As the number of electrons in the last shell is not 8 and as the shell is not full Sodium is chemically unstable. Chlorine has 17 electrons. They are arranged like this: First shell: 2 electrons Second shell: 8 electrons Third shell: 7 electrons The number of electrons in the last shell is not 8, and the shell is not full, and thus, chlorine is chemically unstable. To give an example of a chemically stable element, Argon has 8 atoms in its last shell, which is why it is chemically stable and therefore does not react with any element.
How many electrons will the sodium atom need to lose to get a full outer shell?
Just one.
How many electrons does sodium need to loss to get a full outer shell?
One, because it is a group 1 metal.
How can you get an ion of bromine?
Bromine has 7 electrons in its outer shell and needs to gain one electron to have a full outer shell and become an ion. It will gain this electron from an atom that has one electron in its outer shell such as Lithium or Sodium.
Does Sodium have a full outer valence shell?
No.
Argon is a stable gas with a very high ionization energy Which statement explains why?
It has a full outer shell of electrons
Why does sodium have a lower first ionization than neon?
neon is a nobel gas... the outer electron shell is full the sodium atom has only one electron in the outer shell which is very unstable the sodium atom want to fill up that outer shell with joined atoms so that it becomes full... that is why it ionizes so easily... it is grabbing electrons from other atoms easily
Does sodium react with xenon?
No. Xenon doesn't react, it's a noble gas (meaning it has a full outer shell of valence electrons).
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 would be the charge of a beryllium atom that has a full outer shell?
Beryllium has 2 outer shell electrons. Its full electronic configuration is:- 1s2, 2s2
An element is inactive if?
It has a full outer shell of electrons.

Is the outer shell of argon full?
Yes it is . The outer argon is full becoz it has 18 electrons
