Noble gasses have the complete octet of valence electrons. The are in the family 18 of the Periodic Table. They are unlikely to react with other elements.
What else can I help you with?
Can a Neutral unbonded atom complete valence octet?
Yes, neutral unbonded atoms can complete a valence octet by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 valence electrons. This stability is known as the octet rule, which applies to many elements in the periodic table.
How many valance electrons does the oxygen have?
six valence electrons.....It only requires two more to complete octet....
How many valence electrons does oxygen gain?
Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to complete its "octet", making it O2- with the electron configuration 1s22s22p6
Can carbon expand its octet beyond four valence electrons?
No, carbon cannot expand its octet beyond four valence electrons.
Generally a complete valence shell holds how many electrons.?
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?
A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.
Can a Neutral unbonded atom complete valence octet?
Yes, neutral unbonded atoms can complete a valence octet by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 valence electrons. This stability is known as the octet rule, which applies to many elements in the periodic table.
Does Phosphorus have a complete outer shell?
No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).
How many valance electrons does the oxygen have?
six valence electrons.....It only requires two more to complete octet....
How many valence electrons does oxygen gain?
Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to complete its "octet", making it O2- with the electron configuration 1s22s22p6
How many Valence electrons in a stable octet?
8 valence electrons
How many valence electrons does phosphorus need?
Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and it needs 3 more electrons to complete its octet and achieve stability.
Can carbon expand its octet beyond four valence electrons?
No, carbon cannot expand its octet beyond four valence electrons.
What family contains a full octet of valence electrons?
This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
Why does carbon does not gain or loose 4 electron to complete its octet?
Carbon does not gain or lose 4 electrons to complete its octet because it only has 4 valence electrons to begin with. To complete its octet, carbon forms covalent bonds by sharing electrons with other atoms to achieve stability due to its electronic configuration.
Generally a complete valence shell holds how many electrons.?
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
How many valence electrons does Sulfur?
there are 6 electrons in valence shell of sulphur so it accepts two electrons to complete the octet (8 electrons in last shell) so its valency in ionic compounds is always - 2.
