How many valence electrons do stable atoms have?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Stable atoms have a full outer shell of electrons, which typically means they have 8 valence electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, which are happy with just 2. So, in a nutshell, stable atoms generally have 8 valence electrons, unless they're hydrogen or helium, then they're content with only 2.

Answer 3

A stable atom has 8 electrons in its outer most valence shell. A simple way to remember this is that all atoms want to be like the noble gases which all have 8 electrons (except helium but the reason is complicated and not necessary here)

Answer 4

A stable atom has its outermost energy level completed with the maximum amount of electrons.

A stable electron has 8 or zero valence electrons

Answer 5

A stable element has to have at least 2 valence electrons. But it can vary.

Answer 6

All stable atoms have 8 valence electrons except for Hydrogen and Helium who have 2. If the atom doesn't have enough then they can share electrons with the other atoms.

Answer 7

if an atom has 8 valence electrons (obeying octet rule) then it is stable.
