∙ 6y agoi don't understand the question, but if you're asking how to do it... instead of starting at 1s2, you start at the nearest noble gas and continue from there.

in their valence shell

∙ 6y agoThe external shell of electrons is fully filled.
From helium to radon the mumber of electrons per electron shell is:
2 2,8 2,8,8 2,8,18,8 2,8,18,18,8 2,8,18,32,18,8

What is it called when an electron has 8 electrons in its outer shell?
when an element has 8 electron in outer shell it is said to be inert. inert gases are called noble gases.
Why are the noble gases not included in electron affinity?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals are are stable. they do not accept electrons and hence are not included in electron affinity.
What are the common properties of noble gases and halogens?
they dont have any common properties except that when halogens gain one electron, they achieve the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas.
Are noble gases diatomic?
Noble gases have full outer electron shells, thus have no 'desire' to combine with anything, even its "brothers."Noble Gases are not diatomic.
What happens when a noble gas loses an electron?
It becomes unstable, so noble gases will not lose or gain electron
Why are the noble gases non reactant?
Noble gases have atoms with the valence electron shell filled.

What is the electron configuration for noble gases?
[noble gas]ns2 np6

When elements are noble gases?
All of the noble gasses have full outer electron shells - rendering them extremely nonreactive. Their electron configuration is what places them in the group on the periodic table that we have designated "noble gases".
What do the electron configurations for all the group 18 noble gases have in common?
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration.
Do all of the noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers?
No, not all noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers. The noble gas helium (He) has only two electron shielding layers, while the remaining noble gases (Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon) have three or more electron shielding layers.
Do noble gases have electron affinity?
The valence electron shell of noble gases id completely filled; as a consequence the affinity for electrons and the chemical reactivity are at an extremely low level.
What is the common phase of the noble gases?
gases
