By losing or gaining electrons so that it's Valence level is full. This turns it in to a Stable Ion with either a positive or negative charge.

Describe 1 way an element can achieve a stable electron configuration?
. Through the transfer of electrons between atoms
How Carbon has d orbital?
Electron Orbitals can form a hybrid in order to achieve a more stable element: sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2
What ions does the element curium form?
Curium typically forms trivalent ions (Curium 3+), where it loses three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is The number of electrons that neon needs to gain to achieve stability?
Neon is already a stable element with a full outer electron shell, so it does not need to gain any electrons to achieve stability. Neon has 10 electrons in total, with a full valence shell of 8 electrons. Therefore, it is already in a stable configuration.
How can a non metal element achieve a stable electron-shell structure like that of noble gases?
Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form ions so as to obtain noble gas configuration.

Which of the elements is stable?
a stable element is an element which have been able to complet its octect rule, i.e the electron of its outermost shell is complet, this is what is called a stable element
What does oxygen need to do in order to to achieve a stable electron configuration?
Oxygen atoms need to share or gain two electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How Carbon has d orbital?
Electron Orbitals can form a hybrid in order to achieve a more stable element: sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2
Atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve?
A stable electron configuration.
What ions does the element curium form?
Curium typically forms trivalent ions (Curium 3+), where it loses three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How do ionic compound obtain a stable electron configuration?
They achieve stable configuration by sharing their electrons in their outermost shell.
Some elements achieve stable electron configurations through the transfer of?
electrons
How do elements achieve stable electron configurations between two atoms?
protons
How many electrons does boron have to give up to achieve a stable electron?
5
Is the krypton element stable or unstable?
no it is not stable bcoz if an atom needs to be stable it needs to have 8 electrons in the valency (outermost) shell,where as a krypton has only 2 in its valency electron.
When is an element not likely to react?
When it is stable. that is, all of it's electron shells are fully occupied.
