Which group in the periodic table would need only 1 electron to be stable?
The atoms of Group 17 elements must gain one electron in order to become stable.
Why are group 8 nobel gases the most stable?
Noble gases have complete octet / duptet (in case of Helium) which makes them inert to bond making. They have a full outer shell, so thus do not have to give or take an electron, and are the most stable because all atoms want a full outer shell, and these atoms in group 8 all have a full outer shell.
Chemically inert atoms always have their outermost electron shell full?
True!
Will chlorine gain an electron?
Chlorine atoms have 7 outermost electrons and need to gain an electron to achieve the stability of a full valence shell.
What are elements with full outer electron shells called?
Elements with a full outer electron shells are usually found in group 18/8 on the periodic table, also known as 'Noble Gases'. But during a chemical reaction the element may gain or lose electrons in order to become stable. These atoms are called 'Ions'
Atoms in what group has one less electron than a full orbit?
Atoms in Group 1, also known as alkali metals, typically have one less electron than a full outer orbit. These elements have one electron in their outermost shell, making them highly reactive and likely to lose that electron to achieve a more stable, full outer shell configuration.
Why zero group elements are mono atomic?
Atoms of these elements do not combine with other atoms, even atoms of the same element, because their valence electron shells are full.
Which group in the periodic table would need only 1 electron to be stable?
The atoms of Group 17 elements must gain one electron in order to become stable.
What is more stable partially filled or full electron shells?
Atoms with full outer electron shells are more stable. The atoms (elements) with full outer electron shells are the noble (sometimes called inert) gases. These are the elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, and you know them as helium, neon, argon, krypton, exnon and radon.
What is The Full Name Of Atoms Fourth Orbit?
fundamental
Why are the elements in group 18 always found by themselves and never in a compound with other elements?
The outer electron shells of their atoms are full, and they do not need more electrons from other atoms, so they do not easily bond.
How many valence electron does neon atoms have?
Neon is in group 8 of the periodic table, so it has 8 valence electrons.
What happens to electron affinity as you move down a group?
I would have to answer by asking about the ongoing line segment that joins the origin and a variable point in a system of polar or spherical coordinates. What is the length of a radius vector?
What do atoms strive to have?
Atoms strive to have balance, namely, the outer electron shell full even if it has to share.
Why are group 8 nobel gases the most stable?

True!
How can you tell if an element will conduct energy?
Elements are in fact a bundle of energy if you will. I believe what your asking is How can you tell if an element will conduct electricity. If an atom contains less the the required atoms for its outer shell to become full and stable, it is classified as a conductor. Here's why: The atoms of a given element is composed of the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Electrons are the "electricity" part of an atom. These electrons orbit the protons and neutrons that are at the center of the atom. The electrons are in Valence shells, which is basically which orbit the electrons are on, the closest shell/orbit can contain only 2 electrons, and then it is said to be stable and full; the second valence shell/orbit can only contain 8 electrons, and then it is said to be stable and full; the third valence shell/orbit can only contain 8 electrons, and then it is said to be stable and full also ect.... Now, if we took the third valence shell, and it only contained 1 electron, it is NOT stable and full, so this 1 electron/electricity-part-of-the-atom is free to float around to other empty shells. This is due to the fact that the electrons always want to be in a stable shell/orbit. Some atoms of certain elements naturally contain a full AND therefore stable outer valence shell, (the furthest shell/orbit away.) If an atom contains less the the required atoms for its outer shell to become full and stable, it is classified as a conductor.
