When the highest occupied energy level of an atom is filled with
electrons, the atom is stable and not likely to react.
describe the type of electron configuration that makes a atom stable and not likely to react
They achieve stable configuration by sharing their electrons in their outermost shell.
Oxygen atoms need to share or gain two electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The electron configuration of copper is: [Ar]4s13d10. It isn't 4s23d9 because Cu is able to obtain a more stable electron configuration when it takes an electron from the 4s and adds it to 3d. A half filled 4s and a completely filled 3d is more stable.
Cl-
describe the type of electron configuration that makes a atom stable and not likely to react
. Through the transfer of electrons between atoms
Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.

These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.
Na+ is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration.
The group of elements that have a stable electron configuration are the noble gases.
What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
