Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
A chemical stable atom is when it has the same number has electrons and protons. When the electrons and the protons are same it cannot react with any other atom till then and the atoms are called as inert atoms.
Those electrons are called the valence electrons. They are the ones that can be transferred and form bonds with other atoms.
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
No. Atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. When atoms gain or lose electrons they are called ions.
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
Such atoms belong to a group in the periodic table of elements.
Atoms in the same group (in the same vertical column) of the periodic table have the same number of electrons in their outer shell. A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it has protons. The number of protons is given by it's atomic number. The electrons are considered to be arranged in "shells." The outermost shell can have from 1 to 8 electrons. The effect of being in the same group is that the atoms within a group have similar reactions.
Atoms of the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer energy shells. This gives the elements similar Chemical Propetries.
The number of elements that contain the same type of outer electrons as sodium is 11.

Protons and electrons
Neutral (uncharged) atoms have the same quantity of electrons and protons.
The number of outer electrons is the same as the group number.
No, only atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons.
