An atom with atomic number n needs to gain enough electrons to have the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas in the Periodic Table. This would typically involve gaining 8 electrons to achieve the stable electronic configuration of a noble gas.
What else can I help you with?
How many electrons does group 6A need to gain to become a noble gas?
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 nitrogen have to gain in order to achieve noble gas electron configuration?
Nitrogen needs to gain 3 electrons to achieve noble gas electron configuration, similar to the nearest noble gas, which is neon. By gaining 3 electrons, nitrogen would have a full outer shell of 8 electrons, making it more stable.
How many electrons do halogens have to lose or gain to achieve a stable noble gas electron configuration?
They have to gain 1 electron. Halogens have 7 electrons in their valence shell and noble gasses have 8.
How many electrons does carbon need to gain in order to obtain a noble-gas electron configuration?
Carbon needs to gain four electrons in order to obtain a noble gas electron configuration, similar to that of neon. This will result in a full valence shell with eight electrons, fulfilling the octet rule.
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.
Do you gain or loose electrons to satisfy outet aluminum?
Aluminum must lose 3 electrons to satisfy the octet rule. Once it does this, it becomes the Al+3 ion, and is isoelectronic with noble gas neon.
What causes a compound to be formed from elements?
Every element that isn't a noble gas, wants to become isoelectronic or have the same number of electrons as its nearest noble gas. This is because noble gases are very stable, while other elements aren't. Forming compounds allows elements to gain or lose electrons, which allows them to become like their nearest noble gas.
How many electrons does chlorine need to be a noble gas?
Chlorine need one extra negatively charged electron to be a noble gas.

What gases do not gain electrons?
Noble gases
How many electrons does nitrogen gain in order to achieve a noble gad electron configuration?
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. It should gain 3 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.

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 does nitrogen have to gain in order to achieve noble gas electron configuration?
Nitrogen needs to gain 3 electrons to achieve noble gas electron configuration, similar to the nearest noble gas, which is neon. By gaining 3 electrons, nitrogen would have a full outer shell of 8 electrons, making it more stable.
Will electrons be gained or lost if the atom of oxygen becomes stable?
the atomic no of oxygen is 8 to reach the nearest noble gas electronic configuration it excepts 2 electrons and becomes isoelectronic to Neon.
