How many electrons will a sulfur atom gain or lose to achieve a noble gas structure?
Sulfur will gain 2 electrons
How many electrons does barium have to give up in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
2 electrons as barium has 56 electrons so it will lose two electrons to reach the electronic structure of the nearest noble gas which is xenon 54 electrons
Does calcium have a full outer shell?
Calcium has a full 4s sublevel, but does not have a full "outer shell", per se, because it is not a noble gas.
How many electrons does calcium need to gain to become more stable?
Far too many - it needs to gain 16 to get to Krypton which is the next noble gas (energetically impossible) - It is far easier for it to lose 2 (which it does) to get to the Argon structure

What must happen to a calcium atom for it to achieve a noble gas structure?
It must lose two electrons.
What must have happened to a calcium atom for it to achieve a noble gas structure?
Calcium should lose 2 valence electrons and attain the noble gas configuration of argon with 18 elements.
How many electrons would calcium have to give up to achieve a noble-gas configuration?
Calcium has to lose 2 electrons to form noble gas configuration.
How many electrons must be gained or lost for Iodine to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
It must gain one electron to achieve a noble gas electronic structure, just like other halogens.
Is calcium a part of the noble gas family?
Calcium is not a noble gas but an alkaline earth metal.
How can metal elements achieve a stable electron-shell structure like those of the noble gases?
Covalent bonding
How many electrons will a sulfur atom gain or lose to achieve a noble gas structure?
Sulfur will gain 2 electrons
Is argon the nearest noble gas to calcium?
Yes it is. Argon (atomic number 18) is the noble gas that is nearest to calcium (atomic number 20)
Calcium's noble gas configuration?
[Ar] 4s2
Is calcium a noble gas?
Argon (atomic number 18) is the noble gas that is nearest to calcium (atomic number 20)
How many electrons will a calcium atom Ca lose in order to get a noble gas configuration?
Calcium will lose two electrons to gain the noble gas configuration of Argon.
How many electrons does calcium need to gain or lose to attain a noble gas?
Calcium is in group 2 of the periodic table, meaning that it has 2 electrons in its (outer) valence shell. So it 'only' has to lose those 2 electrons from that to acquire Argon's noble gas structure Ar(2,8,8)Ca(2,8,8,2) --> Ca(2,8,8,0)2+ + 2e-
