What element has a complete valence electron shell?

An element with a complete valence electron shell is a noble gas. Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and non-reactive. Examples include helium, neon, and argon.


If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?

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.


What element has 6 outer shell electrons?

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.


What element has 2 electrons in its outer shell and 12 in total?

Magnesium. The complete electron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 The complete electron arrangement is: 2e, 8e, 2e


What are the Every element in group one has one electron in its outer shell Every element in group two has two electrons in its outer shell?

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.

How many are in the outer shell of the yellow group?

There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.


When an electron moves from the outer shell of one element to the outer shell of another element what kind of bond has been created?

This is an ionic bond.


Why is helium such a stable element?

Its outer electron shell is complete, with 2 electrons. Therefore it does not readily bond with other elements.


What does the atom of an element belonging to the noble gas family have?

A complete octet of electrons (8) in the outer-most, or valence, shell.


Does Phosphorus have a complete outer shell?

No, it doesn't have a complete octet. Phosphorous is in group 5A, meaning it has 5 valence electrons (5 electrons on its outest shell).
