Neon has completely filled valence orbitals, obeys octet rule and is hence stable. Chlorine needs one more electron to complete octet and is hence reactive.

Is neon more stable than carbon?
Neon is stable because it is a noble gas, and is alreadyat the highest configuration already.Where as carbon is not in its highest configuration (2,4) so it can gain 4 electrons or gain 4 electrons thats why it is not more stable.... conclusion ---- neon is more stable ..
Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than Neon.
Is hydride ion more stable or less stable than H-atom?
hydried is more stable than H-atom
Is NH3 more or less stable than water?
Ammonia is less stable than water.
What are the differences between neon and helium?
Neon has 8 more protons and 8 more electrons than helium. It's heavier, but still lighter than air.
Which is stable chlorine ion or chlorine molecule?
Chlorine ion (particularly Chloride ion) is more stable than Chlorine molecule

Why chlorine is highly reactive than other halogens?
It isn't. Fluorine is more reactive. However, Chlorine is more reactive than Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. It is all to do with molecular size. Fluorine wants to get to a stable 10 electrons to be like Neon more than Chlorine wants to get to get 18 lectrons to be like Argon. This is because the valence/bonding electrons are closer to the nucleus in Fluorine than they are Chlorine and thus more strongly attracted.
Is chlorine more reactive than neon?
Yes, Neon is a noble gas (its outer shell of electrons is full) and does not react with anything, while Chlorine is a halide and is very reactive.
This element has more valence electrons that oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodiumbut fewer protons than argon?

Chlorine.
What element has more valence electrons than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than soduim but fewer protons than argon?
Cl Chlorine
Why is the ionization energy of neon so much larger than that of sodium?
Because it just IS and due to fullfield electron configuration that make noble gas more stable. so neon has more ie.
What will be the charge for chlorine when it becomes ions?
A chlorine ion will have a charge of -1. A chlorine atom gains one electron to form the more stable chloride ion, thereby incurring a charge of -1. There is now one more electron than proton in the chloride ion, as compared to the chlorine atom which is electrically neutral.
Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than Neon.
