Atoms, like Neon (Ne), that have the s and p sublevels filled with either electrons are said to have an "octet" of electrons.

Are atoms with eight electrons in the outer shell not reactive at all?
stable and chemically nonreactive, or inert.
What does it mean if an element has 8 electrons?
it has a full octet
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of carbon and how many does it need to have this energy level filled?
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
What are three atoms that have eight valence electrons?
Neon, Xenon, Argon
When an atom's outer layer is filled with electron it is?
Atoms whose outer shell is filled have eight valence electrons and belong to Group XVIII. This group is known as the noble gases.
Are atoms with eight electrons in the outer shell not reactive at all?
stable and chemically nonreactive, or inert.
What does it mean if an element has 8 electrons?
it has a full octet
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons

How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of carbon and how many does it need to have this energy level filled?
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
The octet rule indicates that?
In chemistry, the octet rule states that an atom has eight electrons in its outer shell. When all eight electron orbitals are filled, the atom is described as non-reactive. Examples include neon and argon.
What are three atoms that have eight valence electrons?
Neon, Xenon, Argon
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
When atoms end up with eight or zero valence electrons how are they different from they were before?
they become stable as they have completely filled outermost valence shell and if they have no electron in their outermost shell they become non reactive.
Are having eight valence electrons makes atoms very reactive?
No, eight valence electrons completely fills the valence band and makes the atom inert. The most reactive atoms have either one valence electron or seven valence electrons.
Why are noble gases chemically inactive?
The noble gasses all have a filled outer electron shell of eight electrons, except helium which has two electrons. Since their outer electron shells are filled, they are less likely to react with other atoms.
