I believe you are talking about fluorine. If you are, F needs one more electron to gain a full shell.

If you go to WikiAnswers for this information, that is counterproductive, because there is a much better way to do it. Look at the Periodic Table. Groups IA through VIIIA tell you what you need to know. IA has one valence electron, IIA has two valence electrons etc. Fluorine is in group VIIA and therefore has seven valence electrons. All atoms want eight, and thus fluorine is in need of one more.

Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?

Fluorine gains electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. It has seven valence electrons and tends to gain one more electron to complete its outer shell and attain a full octet.

How many additional valence electrons does chlorine need to have a full valence shell?

Chlorine needs one additional valence electron to have a full valence shell, as it has seven valence electrons in its outermost shell and aims to have a complete octet with eight electrons for stability.


What does a sulfur atom need to do to have a full valence level?

A sulfur atom needs to gain two electrons or share electrons with other atoms to have a full valence level. Sulfur has six valence electrons and can achieve stability by forming two additional bonds.
