Atoms that have a full outer shell do not bond easily with other substances.
This question could be changed into "What are some of the elements that form bonds easily because it does not have a full outer shell", in which case the answer would be iron, copper, hydrogen, ect. The other possible question is "What are some of the elements that don't form bonds easily because it has a full outer shell". In that case, the answer is helium, argon, krypton, neon, and a few others.
group 18 is the noble gases and cotains all gaseous elements such as:helium(He), Neon(Ne), Argon(Ar), an krypton(Kr), among others. these elements are considered non_reactive elements because they have a full outer shell of electrons making their atomic structure very stable
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
The element with 6 outer shell electrons is carbon. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell and 2 electrons in the shell before that, totaling 6 outer shell electrons.
Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table have one electron in their outer shell, while elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their outer shell. This configuration makes these elements more stable and likely to form ions with a positive charge by losing these outer electrons to achieve a full outer shell.

Boron has 3 electrons in the outer shell and 2 electrons in the inner.
No. Carbon forms bonds very easily and it's outer shell is only half full.
Helium
False - calcium forms ionic bonds very easily because it has only 2 electrons in its outer shell
aluminum
No it doesn't... Aluminum has 3 extra electrons in the outer shell
There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.
This is an ionic bond.

The outer shell (N=4) of the copper element has 2 electrons.
Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table have one electron in their outer shell, while elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their outer shell. This configuration makes these elements more stable and likely to form ions with a positive charge by losing these outer electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
