Oh, dude, stable atoms typically have 8 valence electrons because they want to be all balanced and happy. It's like they're throwing a party and they need 8 cool electrons to join in on the fun. So yeah, 8 valence electrons is the magic number for stable atoms.
It depends on the atom. List what element the atom is from.
Here are 16 valence electrons: 3 from H, 8 from O and 5 from P.
8 - called valence electrons. it doesn't matter what energy level or orbital shape. a "happy atom" has 8 valence electrons

Electrons 'jump' from one atom to another. The electron configuration of the atoms determine how easy it is for an electron to move from one atom to another, which is a factor in determining conductivity of the substance.Actually in atoms in the solid state, electrons occupy one of 2 quantum energy bands: the valence band or the conduction band. Valence band electrons are tightly bound to the atom, but conduction band electrons are not bound to the atom and can roam freely through the material.insulators have very few if any conduction band electrons and thus cannot conductconductors have so many conduction band electrons that they form what is called an electron gas that fills all of the material and can flow freely, there is no"'jumping' from one atom to another" at all
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.
Most atoms need eight valence electrons to have a complete outer shell and achieve a stable, "happy" state, a concept known as the octet rule. However, there are exceptions, such as hydrogen and helium, which are stable with just two valence electrons. Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to reach this stable configuration.
8 valence electrons
carbon has 4 valence electrons and can form a maximum 4 bonds with other atoms.
you would need a full outer shell so 8
Carbon can share up to 4 valence electrons. This allows it to form stable covalent bonds with other atoms to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.
Oxygen atoms have 6 valence electrons, while sulfur atoms have 6 valence electrons as well.
A full outer shell of electrons typically results in chemical stability for an atom. This corresponds to 8 valence electrons for most atoms (except hydrogen and helium, which only need 2 valence electrons for stability).
Oxygen has six valence electrons.
Gallium is a mono-atomic metal element. So their atoms are atoms, and as many as you have!
8 valence electrons
Aluminum has 3 valence electrons.
