They should gain 2 electrons to attain noble gas electronic configuration. (it doesn't become a noble gas as the number of protons are not same)

How many electrons does I have to gain to become noble gas?

It has 7 valence electrons, so needs 1 more to become noble.


How many electrons will a sulfur atom gain or lose to achieve a noble gas structure?

A sulfur atom will gain 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas structure because sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table and needs to fill its outer shell with a total of 8 electrons to become stable.


How do then properties of noble gases support this model?

to gain or lose electrons to become stable


What tends to gain electrons?

Elements on the right of the periodic table but not in group 0/8 tend to gain electrons. Those in group 7 tend to gain 1 electron and those in group 6 tend to gain 2.


Does group 2A gain electrons or lose electrons in order to achieve a noble gas configuration?

loses 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration


Why some atom lose or gain electrons to become ions but noble gas atom never become ion?

Atoms lose or gain electrons to become ions in order to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically through having a full outer shell. Noble gas atoms already have a full outer shell, making them stable and unlikely to gain or lose electrons to become ions. This is known as the octet rule.


How many electrons does As to gain noble gas configuration?

it should gain 3 electrons


What periodic group of elements does not ionize?

The Noble Gases (Group VIIIA or Group 8A) do not exchange electrons or become ionized into ions since they already have a full electron configuration.


Which group of element take in electrons and what do they become?

Group 17 elements (halogens) tend to gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell, becoming negatively charged ions called anions. This electron gain allows them to attain a stable configuration similar to noble gases.


Does group 18 on the periodic table lose or gain electrons?

Group 18 elements, also known as noble gases, typically do not gain or lose electrons because they already have a full outer shell of electrons (8 in the case of helium, 8 for all other noble gases). This stability makes them very unreactive and inert.


What gases do not gain electrons?

Noble gases


What do atoms other than the Noble Gases have to do in order to become stable?

Atoms gain, lose or share electrons and try to attain noble gas configuration.
