If you draw a Bohr diagram it will be easier to understand.... and so here is my explanation..... The neon element is a noble gas so this means that in it's outer shell it has 8 electrons which means that this shell is full. While for the oxygen it only has 6 electrons in it's outer shell, so this means that it is not full. since the shell is not full it allows other electrons from other elements to fill thats spot which is a reaction. I don't know if you understand anything i just said but i hope this helped at least a little

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 ..
Why is neon more stable than chlorine?
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.
Why is the compound magnesium oxide more stable than its separate components magnesium and oxygen?
Because its ionic bonds between magnesium and oxygen are stronger and more stable than the metallic bonds between magnesium and the covalent bonds between oxygen
What element has more valence electrons that oxygen fewer valence electrons that neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?
there is no such element
Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than Neon.

What element has 2 more protons than oxygen?
Neon
Why is neon more stable than chlorine?
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.
What element has similar properties as oxygen more protons than neon but fewer than argon?
Sulphur.
Why is the compound magnesium oxide more stable than its separate components magnesium and oxygen?
Because its ionic bonds between magnesium and oxygen are stronger and more stable than the metallic bonds between magnesium and the covalent bonds between oxygen
Will nitrogen and oxygen be identical?
No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.
Do oxygen compounds become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds?
Oxygen has six valence electrons, which means that it needs to gain two to become stable. it takes much more energy for oxygen to lose its 6 valence electrons than it would be to gain 2. When atoms form compounds, they become stable.
Does oxygen have a greater mass than neon?
No
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.
Why are two molecules of oxygen more stable than three molecules of oxygen?
This is because in nitrogen the 2p subshells are filled by 3 electrons which is half filled electronic configuration. But oxygen has to lose an electron to attain the half filled electronic electronic configuration. Hence nitrogen is more stable than oxygen.
What element has more valence electrons than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?
Chlorine
Element that has more valence electrons than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?
Chlorine.
