What happens when the outermost electron shell of an element such as a neon contains the maximum number of eight electrons?

Neon (Ne, #10) has 8 electrons in its outermost shell. This is a very stable arrangement of electrons; in fact, many other elements either lose or gain electrons in order to achieve this same arrangement that neon already has. For that reason, neon is inert, meaning it does not react. It is neither the reactant nor the product in chemical reactions.

If the outermost electron shell of an element is not filled with electrons to its maxium capacity the element is not chemically active?
false
How many electron in external shell of vanadium element?
Two electrons are in the external shell of vanadium.
How do you find the valence of an element?
elements, or atoms, do not have valence numbers, they have valence orbitals (the outermost one) or valence electrons (all the electrons in the outermost orbital). you can look this up anywhere that shows the electron configuration, like your periodic table.
What element has its outermost electrons in 7s1?
The element is francium.
How many electrons are in the outer energy level of group 7 a elements?
To start off, the electrons on the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. You can tell how many valence electrons an energy level has by finding out its group number. If an element is in group one, than it has one valence electron.
What are the electrons on an element's farthest or outermost electron shell?
Valence.
What happens when the outermost electron shell of an element such as neon contains the maximum number of eight electrons?
It forms complex compounds with related molecules

What is the total number of electrons in the outermost energy level?
The velence electron will vary for element to element and can have 1 to 8 valence electrons.
If the outermost electron shell of an element is not filled with electrons to its maxium capacity the element is not chemically active?
false
What subatomic particles is used to classify the properties of an element?
The electron and the outermost electrons' orbital radius.
What element has 2 electron energy levels and 4 electrons available for bonding in the outermost energy level?
The element carbon
What does the electron configuration tell you about an element?
i think it tells about the stability of that element.add The position and number of electrons on an element determine its chemical properties. Generally, the outermost shell of electrons.But in the rare earths, the outermost shell of all of them, contains a similar number of electrons, and it is the inner shells that vary in their number. Hence their similar but subtly different properties.
How many electron in external shell of vanadium element?
Two electrons are in the external shell of vanadium.
Consider the element Phosphorus 30P. How many electrons are in the outermost electron shell of a phosphorus atom?
atomic number
A neutral atom with an atomic number of 15 will have electrons in its outermost energy level?
The element is phosphorus and it contains 5 valence electrons.
The chemical properties of an atom depend on the number of what?
It depends on the number of electrons in the outer valence shell in the atom
