Elements with a full outer shell are called the "Inert gases" or "Noble gases".
They consist of all the group 8 elements, such as argon, neon, xenon, krypton, etc.
The noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals. The noble gas elements are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and the radioactive radon (Rn).
Love without despair!
Noble gases.
Noble gases
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
An atom with an incompletely filled outermost energy level is likely to be reactive. This is because it wants to acquire a filled outermost energy level.

to fil the outermost energy level which is the level that contain all the valance electrons
Elements on the right side of the periodic table require large amounts of energy to remove an electron from the outermost energy level of their atoms. It is much easier for them to gain rather than lose electrons.
Because their outermost energy level is only partially filled, some elements are highly reactive, I believe.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
An atom with an incompletely filled outermost energy level is likely to be reactive. This is because it wants to acquire a filled outermost energy level.
Helium only needs 2 valence electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.

Yes, the outermost energy level of the atoms of the noble gases are filled, meaning that they have the maximum number of electrons. This is why noble gases are stable and unreactive. The atoms of reactive elements share or transfer electrons in order to fill their outermost energy levels, making them stable like the noble gases.
When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
