it is helium He. it has 2 electrons
Oxygen (O) has 8 protons and 8 electrons.
Every noble gas does have an outer shell. That's why they don't want to react with any other element. This is because they don't want to gain or lose any electrons. Because they have a full outer shell.
Argon has eight valence (outer) shell electrons. It is a Noble Gas so its valence shell is full (Octet Rule).
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.
A representative element with eight electrons in its valence shell is said to be at a stable electron configuration, known as the octet rule. This means the element has achieved a full outer shell of electrons, making it less likely to react with other elements to gain stability. Examples of such elements are noble gases like neon and argon.
Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet. Helium is the element in the noble geses family that does not have an octet.
Helium has only 2 valence electrons. The rest noble gases have eight.
Helium has two valence electrons. It is the only noble gas not to have eight valence electrons. Helium has the electronic configuration 1s2.The Noble gases have eight valence electrons in their outer shell.
Neon and other noble gases have a full outer electron shell, so they have 8 electrons (except helium, which has 2) due to their stable electron configuration. This full outer shell makes them highly stable and unreactive.
Oxygen (O) has 8 protons and 8 electrons.
The electron configuration of the noble gasses are such that the valence shell (the outer most shell of electrons) is filled up with eight electrons. the outermost shell of electrons can only fit eight and the noble gasses already have all eight.
Radon is a noble gas; it has 8 electrons in its outer shell.
Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.
Noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, which makes them stable and unreactive. For noble gases, the outer shell typically contains eight electrons, following the octet rule. This applies to all noble gases with atomic masses greater than three, such as neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. Therefore, a noble gas with an atomic mass greater than three has eight electrons in its outer shell.
All noble gasses have 8 valence electrons which means outer electrons. As for electrons overall, argon would have 18.
Argon is a Noble gas--one with eight electrons in its outer shell.
The innermost shell contains a maximum of 2 electrons, therefore like the other noble gases, it has a full outer shell. The other noble gases all have eight in their outer shells.
