Is the element reactive or satble how do you know?

If the element has a full valence shell, such as the noble gases, then it is unreactive. It the element is missing few valence electrons of has few valence electrons, then the element is very reactive, such as the sodium.


What is an element with a full valence shell and is very nonreactive?

These are the noble gases.


What element has two fewer valence electrons than noble gases?

all elements from group 16 or the chalcogens (oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium and polonium)


A family of unreactive element whose atoms do not gain lose or share valence electrons?

Noble Gasses.


What element has a complete valence electron shell?

An element with a complete valence electron shell is a noble gas. Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and non-reactive. Examples include helium, neon, and argon.


Which noble gas doesn't have 8 outer electrons?

Helium has only 2 valence electrons. The rest noble gases have eight.


How many electrons do you need to become a noble gas?

A species (element, cation or anion) should have eight valence electrons to have a noble gas electronic configuration. However element upto atomic number 4 may have 2 valence electrons and attain the electronic configuration of helium noble gas.


What is the noble gas notation of the element with valence electron s2?

S2- ion: [Ne]3s23p6


Helium is what type of element?

Helium is a noble gas with 2 valence electrons.


What is odd element in the noble gases?

Helium is odd as it has 2 valence electrons while others have 8 valence electrons.


What is odd element in noble gases?

The odd element in the noble gases is xenon (Xe). It has an odd number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus, unlike the other noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, radon) which have an even number.


Which elements is less reactive an element whose atoms have seven valence electrons or an element whose atoms have eight valence electrons?

the element with seven valence electrons will be more reactive. The reason for this is that elements want to always want to have a full valence shell (they always want 8, like a noble gas). The element with eight valence electron is happy with its full shell and will not want to get rid of any electrons.
