Which elements on the periodic table have stable electron configurations?

All of them. There is no problem with elements not having stable electron configurations. The only stability issue concerns the nucleus, not the electrons-- all elements except helium have isotopes with unstable nuclei, some have only unstable nuclei (radioactive elements), and some have only very short-lived unstable nuclei.

∙ 12y agoIn the Periodic Table, the far right hand column is made up of what is called the "inert gases". Inert means unreactive, which is exactly why they're called that. They aren't reactive at all and only naturally occur by themselves, not joined to any other element. As you go along the periodic table, each element has one more electron that the last, and so when you get to the inert gases, the way electrons are configured in shells, each inert gas has a full outer shell and no spare electrons. This is why they're the group that is at a stable energy level and won' react.

Some elements achieve stable electron configurations through the transfer of?
electrons
What is the most stable number of valence electrons?
The most stable number of valence electrons is 2 for hydrogen and helium, which have only one electron shell in the shell model for atomic electron configurations, and 8 for all other elements.
Which group in the periodic table would need only 1 electron to be stable?
The atoms of Group 17 elements must gain one electron in order to become stable.
Why are the elements of the 18th group of the periodic table so unreactive?
Group 18 (noble gases) of the periodic tabledoes not react with other elements because they have a complete outermost shell and they are stable as well. However,Xenon reacts with some elements.
Elements in Group 1 become more stable by what an electron?
Elements in group two become more stable as they all have complete electron shell.They do not have valence electrons and hence they are less reactive.Some of the elements of group 2 are Barium,Magnesium and Calcium
Noble gases have less stable electronic configurations then all other elements in the periodic table?
No - they have much more stable configurations than the other elements in the periodic table.
How do elements achieve stable electron configurations between two atoms?
protons
Some elements achieve stable electron configurations through the transfer of?
electrons
Do noble gases have less stable electronic configurations than all other elements in the periodic table?
no
What have stable electron configurations?
any time there are as many electrons and protons and they fill each orbital optimally.
What elements on the periodic table have the highest energies?
Group 18 as they have completely filled electronic configurations, are stable and hence do not ionize.
What is the most stable number of valence electrons?
The most stable number of valence electrons is 2 for hydrogen and helium, which have only one electron shell in the shell model for atomic electron configurations, and 8 for all other elements.
Which group in the periodic table would need only 1 electron to be stable?
The atoms of Group 17 elements must gain one electron in order to become stable.
Do Helium Xenon and Neon have stable electron configurations?
Yes. Helium, Xenon, and Neon have stable electron numbers (octette rule).
How many energy levels do the most stable electron configurations have?
6
What is a stable electron configueration?
A stable electron configuration refers to an atom in which the outer electron shell is full. Outermost electron shells hold a maximum of 2, 8, 8, 18,...(etc.) electrons. With an outer shell of 2 electrons, the periodic table shows that helium has a stable electron configuration. The next stable configuration of an element has 10 (2 + 8) electrons. This is neon. Neon is followed by argon, with 18 (2 + 8 + 8) electrons. Krypton, with 36 (2 + 8 + 8 + 18) electrons is next. The remaining stable configurations follow a similar pattern, based on the maximum number of electrons able to fit into the outermost ring. These elements are extremely stable and rarely react with other elements. They are referred to as the noble gases or inert elements. Atoms of other elements may bond with each other or different elements to form molecules having full outermost shells of electrons.
What is a pseudo-noble gas?
Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.
