The outer shell of the atoms in Group D will always be 1 or 2 s orbital electrons. Irregularities occur with Cr where it is s1d5, not s2d4 and in Group 11 metals it is s1d10 not s2d9 so that the d-subshell is complete at Group 11.

What types of electrons s p d or f are considered those involved in the make up of the outer shells of atoms?
It depends on the particular atom in question. Any of those subshells can make up the outer shells of atoms. Examples: In Mg, the outer shell is the 2s subshell. In P, the outer shell is the 3p subshell. In Fe, the outer shell is the 3d subshell, etc.
Which elements having the most stable electron configuration?
The most stable configuration is when the entire shell is full (noble gas configuration). Next best is when a specific orbital (s, p, d, f, etc.) is completely full, even if the shell is not complete. Next best after that is when a specific orbital is exactly half full.All atoms would like to attain electron configurations like noble gases, i.e., have completed outer shells. Atoms can form stable electron configurations like noble gases by losing electrons, gaining electrons and sharing electrons. For a stable configuration each atom must fill its outer energy level. In the case of noble gases there will be eight electrons in the valence (outer most) shell (with the exception of He which has two electrons). Atoms that have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outer levels will tend to lose them in interactions with atoms that have 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their outer levels. Atoms that have 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their outer levels will tend to gain electrons from atoms with 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outer levels. Atoms that have 4 electrons in the outer most energy level will tend neither to totally lose nor totally gain electrons during interactions and thus they tend to share electrons.
How many electrons does Magnesium need to complete last shell?
Magnesium, in the second group, can either gain six electrons or lose two electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
An element classified as a semiconductor would have how many electrons in its outer shell?
none, neutrons orbit atoms not electrons!!

Why are all alkai metals highly reactive?
well basically they all have very unstable atoms and having unstable atoms. They also have only 1 outer electron and only then is an atom happy when it has a full outer shell.. This means that the alkali metals want to get rid of their extra electron and therefore means they would be very reactive with the group 7 metals. Hope this helps :D
Number of electrons in each Electron configuration?
Period ---- Shell -------------- Atom pairs 1 ------------ s ---------------------- 1 2 ---------- s, p ------------------- 1, 3 3 ---------- s, p ------------------- 1, 3 4 -------- s, p, d ---------------- 1, 3, 5 5 -------- s, p, d ---------------- 1, 3, 5 Each pair represent 2 atoms. The s shell can hold 2 electrons, the p shell can hold 6 electrons, and the p shell can hold 10 electrons. The 3rd shell does not include the d shell since the atoms in the B group begin on the 3rd period There are also some special configurations in the B group where the s shell lends an electron to the d group such as Cr. For example, if Cr followed the general guidelines that other atoms in the A groups, it would be 1s^2/2s^2 p^6/3s^2 p^6/4s^2 d^5, except it actually is 1s^2...4s^1 d^5 Special guidelines apply to group 5B for period 5 excluding 4, group 6B for periods 4 and 5, group 8B (sub groups 8, 9, and 10) for period 5, and group 1B for periods 4 and 5 (and 6 if you want to count the f subshell), where electrons from the s shell are loaned to the d shell

Is it true that noble gases tend to have a full outer shell?
Technically He and neon have full outer shells, 1s2 and 2s2 2p6 resoectivelly. Theh heavier noble gases all have the ns2, np6 outer shell which confers stability, even though it is not full. Argon for instansce with 3s2 3p6 outer shell has the 3 d orbitals unfilled
How many electrons do atoms want in their outermost energy level?
The answer is Valence Electrons. Atoms want a full number of electrons in their outer shell, which is why atoms with only one electron missing from their outer shell are most reactive, because they are close to completing that shell. Electrons as such are half-spin particles or fermions. A single particle electron orbital (intended as a solution of a 1-D Schrödinger equation) with occupancies 0 and 1 can have 2 allowed quantum states. Electrons are seen as indistinguishable particles in quantum mechanics. In other words electron 1 is the same as electron 2. We can then state that any electron of appropriate energy will be able to occupy the outermost shell of an element.
