In the modern Periodic Table, these elements belong to group 17. These elements have s2 p5 electron configuration. Hence they need one more electron from an electron donor to fulfill its valence shell to obtain noble gas configuration.
The elements in the group 7A has 7 electrons in their outermost energy level. They gain 1 electron to get the noble gas configuration. The elements in the group 7A are called halogens.
Fluorine needs one additional electron to satisfy the octet rule, giving it a total of 8 valence electrons and achieving a stable electron configuration.
The electrons determine the reactivity. How many valence electrons there are. It is easier to lose one electron rather than three, so an element with one valence electron will be more reactive than one with three.
it is a stable ecosystem
A saturated carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms. In organic compounds, this typically includes other carbon atoms or hydrogen atoms. This arrangement allows the carbon atom to reach its stable configuration with a full outer shell of electrons.
The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.
Two electrons.
Beryllium is a stable element.
Group 2 elements lose 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. In order to become stable, Florine will share 1 electron with another atom to get 8 electron and become stable.
They should gain 2 electrons to attain noble gas electronic configuration. (it doesn't become a noble gas as the number of protons are not same)
Noble Gases are stable due to the "octet" rule (they have as many electrons as they can hold) and will not bond.
Sulfur gains 2 electrons to become stable.
2
Calcium (Ca) typically loses 2 electrons to become more stable when bonding, as it has 2 valence electrons in its outer shell. By losing these electrons, calcium achieves a full octet, making it more stable.
the oxidation number
Atoms become stable when they have a full outer electron shell, which typically means having 8 valence electrons (except for hydrogen and helium, which are stable with 2 valence electrons). This stable configuration is known as the octet rule.
Tantalum needs to lose 2 electrons to become stable. Tantalum has 73 protons, so losing 2 electrons will give it a full outer shell of 71 electrons, which is the most stable configuration for the element.
