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)
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.
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.
Group 8A elements, also known as the noble gases, do not form ions because they have a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons. This means they do not gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable configuration, so the concept of ionic radius is not applicable to them.
Noble gases do not want to gain or lose electrons because they already have a stable outer electron configuration. This is known as the octet rule, where they have a full outer shell of electrons. Consequently, noble gases are typically nonreactive and do not readily form chemical bonds.
it doesn't do either. its in Group 8, so its stable and it realistically won't form ions.
It has 7 valence electrons, so needs 1 more to become noble.
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.
to gain or lose electrons to become stable
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.
loses 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration
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.
it should gain 3 electrons
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.
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.
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.
Noble gases
Atoms gain, lose or share electrons and try to attain noble gas configuration.
