How many electrons does nitrogen give up to achieve noble gas electron configuration?
nitrogen should give 5 electrons (or better gain 3 electrons) to attain noble gas configuration.
How many electrons would sodium have to lose to have a noble gas configuration?
Sulfur must lose six electrons to attain noble gas electron configuration (in SO3, H2SO4 etc) but in most of the compounds it will exist as sulphides which is formed when sulphur will gain two electrons.
How many electrons must be lost given the following atoms Ca Mg Ba Be to attain Noble gas?
To attain the noble gas configuration, Ca would have to lose 2 electrons, Mg would have to lose 2 electrons, Ba would have to lose 2 electrons, and Be would have to lose 2 electrons.
When an aluminum atom reacts so as to attain a noble gas electron confuration?
aluminium should lose three electrons to attain noble gas configuration
How many electrons must Kr lose to attain a noble gas electron configuration?
Krypton is a noble gas and need not lose electrons. It is already stable.
How do you get a noble gas configuration?
Atoms lose or gain or share electrons and tend to attain noble gas configuration
How many atoms does a phoshorus atom need to attain a noble gas configuration?
Phosphorus should gain 3 electrons and form P3- ion to attain a noble gas configuration
What is the different ways in which atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of noble gasses with an example?
Metals like sodium,potassium get noble gas configuration by losing electrons. Elements like nitrogen,oxygen get noble gas configuration by gaining electrons. Halogens get noble gas configuration by sharing electrons.

three
When an aluminum atom reacts so as to attain a noble gas electron confuration?
aluminium should lose three electrons to attain noble gas configuration
Is the elecron configuration of an atom related to its tendency to give up or gain electrons during a chemical reaction?
Yes. If there are 1 to 3 valence electrons in an atom, then generally those elements will lose these electrons to attain noble gas configuration. If there are 5 to 7 valence electrons, then generally those elements will gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration.
How many electrons must be gained or lost for calcium to attain a noble-gas electron configuration?
two electrons lost
How many electrons must Kr lose to attain a noble gas electron configuration?
Krypton is a noble gas and need not lose electrons. It is already stable.
