They have one valence electron. If this electron is lost, the atoms form cations with the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas.

What do atoms other than the Noble Gases have to do in order to become stable?
Atoms gain, lose or share electrons and try to attain noble gas configuration.
How do atoms attains stable configuration of noble gas?
Atoms gain stable configuration of noble gas, by either gaining or losing (as in ionic compounds) or sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).
What is the electron configuration using noble-gas notation of calcium?
No Such ... all atoms have an electron configuration, yet Ca++ is not a noble gas.
How do nonmetals achieve the noble gas configuration?
Hydrogen gas has the noble gas electron configuration with a single covalent bond; it only requires two electrons for this (you've probably heard the "duet rule"). Otherwise, in the right conditions, you can maybe combine two atoms in the 4A group (Carbon, Silicon, Germanium, Tin, Lead, etc.), or an atom in the 3A plus an atom in the 5A group. All other combinations would be considered ionic bonds.
What group attains Electron Configuration of noble gases by gaining one electron?
nitrogen will get noble gas configuration by adding three more electrons.
What do atoms other than the Noble Gases have to do in order to become stable?
Atoms gain, lose or share electrons and try to attain noble gas configuration.
How do you get a noble gas configuration?
Atoms lose or gain or share electrons and tend to attain noble gas configuration
How do atoms attains stable configuration of noble gas?
Atoms gain stable configuration of noble gas, by either gaining or losing (as in ionic compounds) or sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).
What is important about the electron configuration of the noble gases?
By acquiring noble gas configuration elements become stable .
How many electrons does group 6A need to gain to become a noble gas?
They should gain 2 electrons to attain noble gas electronic configuration. (it doesn't become a noble gas as the number of protons are not same)
What elements lack a noble gas electron configuration?
Only group 18 elements have noble gas configuration. All other elements lack a noble gas electronic configuration.
When a stable molecule is formed what is the configuration of its atoms' outer shells?
The atoms of the molecule effectively achieve a noble gas configuration by sharing valence electrons.
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.
What is the electron configuration using noble-gas notation of calcium?
No Such ... all atoms have an electron configuration, yet Ca++ is not a noble gas.
What group attains Electron Configuration of noble gases by gaining one electron?
nitrogen will get noble gas configuration by adding three more electrons.
What electron configuration do atoms acheieve by sharing electrons form covalent bonds?
They achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas.
How do nonmetals achieve the noble gas configuration?
