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.

How many electrons does Ca lose to become more stable when bonding?

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.

All atoms become stable when they have how many valence electrons?

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.


How many electrons must tantalum need to gain or lose to become stable?

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.
