Where is the most Stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons?

The noble gases - group 18 on most newer periodic tables - are the most stable. They have a completely filled valence shell of electrons.

∙ 12y agoHaving a full valence (outer) shell will make it stable. This means the outer shell will have 8 electrons or in Hydrogen's case, 2 or none.

What is the most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction?
The most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction is 8 electrons. This is referred to as the octet rule in representative elements.
What elements have four electrons in its outer p orbital?
The elements which falls under the group 16 has 4 electrons in its outer p orbital...
How many extra valence electrons does helium need to become stable?
Helium has 2 valence electrons and has completely filled orbitals / shells and helium is stable.
Why does carbon want to bond with other atoms?
Since a carbon atom has 4 electrons in its outer shell, it does not have the stable arrangement of 8, which it can gain by sharing electrons with other atoms.
How do elements acquire a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Atoms can achieve a stable outer electron arrangement by gaining, losing or sharing valence electrons with other atoms or ions.
What is the most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction?
The most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction is 8 electrons. This is referred to as the octet rule in representative elements.
How many electrons does an atom need in its outer energy level to be stable?
Most atoms require eight electrons in the outer shell to be stable. The exception is atoms that are only filling the s1 orbital, which becomes stable with only two electrons.
Is valence electrons in the outer most orbital?
No. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most orbit (or energy level) and not in outer most orbital.
How many outer orbital electrons is found in an atom of Be?
Be (beryllium) has four electrons total: the first orbital, the 1s orbital, has two, which leaves two electrons in the outer shell.
What is the octet rule and what does it have to do with bonding?
Most atoms tend to form the kind of bonds that will give them 8 electrons (an octet) in their outer shell, because that is a particularly stable arrangement. Exceptions are hydrogen and helium. Hydrogen's most stable arrangement is zero electrons (but it can also have 2) and helium has a stable arrangement of 2 electrons. the two lightest metals, lithium and beryllium, also have a stable electron arrangement of just two electrons. All other elements seek 8.
What elements have four electrons in its outer p orbital?
The elements which falls under the group 16 has 4 electrons in its outer p orbital...
How many extra valence electrons does helium need to become stable?
Helium has 2 valence electrons and has completely filled orbitals / shells and helium is stable.
How do lithium and fluorine become stable together?
lithium donates the electron in its outer orbital to fluorine which then has a completed outer shell
Why does carbon want to bond with other atoms?
Since a carbon atom has 4 electrons in its outer shell, it does not have the stable arrangement of 8, which it can gain by sharing electrons with other atoms.
How do elements acquire a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Atoms can achieve a stable outer electron arrangement by gaining, losing or sharing valence electrons with other atoms or ions.
What are eletronics?
Valence electrons are electrons found in the outer orbital (shell of an atom) They are the electrons used for bonding
What element that has the same number of electrons in its outer energy level as silicon does?
Carbon and Germanium They all have 4 electrons in their outer orbital
