Some elements achieve stable electron configurations through the transfer of?
electrons
Why can't all atoms exist independently while all molecules exist independently?
Many atoms have electron configurations that are unstable. By sharing electrons with one or more other atoms, new, more stable electron configurations form.
What is the most stable number of valence electrons?
The most stable number of valence electrons is 2 for hydrogen and helium, which have only one electron shell in the shell model for atomic electron configurations, and 8 for all other elements.
What will an atom of iodine most likely do to be stable?
Steal an electron from an atom of a different element.
What type of structure must each atom in a compound usually exhibit for the compound to be stable?
spherical packaged structureszumdahl textbook answer: "..the most important requirement for the formation of a stable compound is that the atoms achieve noble gas electron configurations."
What are stable electron configurations are likely to contain?
completely filled valence shells
What have stable electron configurations?
any time there are as many electrons and protons and they fill each orbital optimally.
Do Helium Xenon and Neon have stable electron configurations?
Yes. Helium, Xenon, and Neon have stable electron numbers (octette rule).
How many energy levels do the most stable electron configurations have?
6
What is a pseudo-noble gas?
Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration. Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.
Some elements achieve stable electron configurations through the transfer of?
electrons
How do elements achieve stable electron configurations between two atoms?
protons
When comparing the electron configurations of neon and fluorine what must happen for fluorine to become stable?
flourine must gain one electron

To become more stable fluorine is likely to?
To become more stable, fluorine is most likely to gain 1 electron and form F- ion.
Explain what atoms are trying to achieve in there electron shells when they bond with each outher?
Atoms are trying achieve a stable electronic configuration i.e., stable arrangement of electrons in their electron shells. All configurations are not stable. Mostly stable configuration is attained by forming an octet of electrons in outer most shell. Sometimes octet rule is violated also.
