"Pb" Lead, its atomic number is 82 and the mass number is 207.2, as it has six electronic shells therefore it is placed in the sixth period of the Periodic Table and as it has 4 electrons in it's outer most shell therefore it is placed in group number four of the periodic table.
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.
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.
Chromium has two electrons in the outer most shell.
Antimony has 5 valence electrons.
Beryllium has one outer electron shell with two electrons.
Period number = no. of electron shells. Therefore neon has two shells.
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.
The outer electron shells of halogens have seven electrons, making them one electron short of a full outer shell. This makes halogens highly reactive as they tend to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Halogens are located in Group 17 of the periodic table.

The calcium atom has 2 outer shell electrons. It's configuration is: [Ar] 4s2 it also has 2 inner shell electrons
Chromium has two electrons in the outer most shell.
Antimony has 5 valence electrons.
Beryllium has one outer electron shell with two electrons.
Californium has seven electron shells ; the outer shell has two electrons.
This is an ionic bond.
Berkelium has 97 electrons, which means it has 7 electron shells.
There are many elements which have no unpaired electrons in their outer shells. The Noble gasses all have closed shells of valence electrons. The alkali earth metals (Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium etc) also have no unpaired electrons, although their outer shell is not entirely full.
