What is a atom with its outermost shell completely filled in likely to do?

They are most likely to lose or gain atoms. For example if u have two atoms with uneven electrons then one of the two will take the other one's to balance each other out.

What are electrically charged atom or group of atmos with unpaired electrons in their outermost shell?
An electrically charged atom or group of atoms with an unpaired electron in its outermost shell is called a free radical. If the outermost shell of an atom is half-filled with electrons, that atom is most likely to share electrons.
Is O a molecule?
O is the symbol for Oxygen, which is not a noble gas.No, Oxygen (O) is in group 6 and the noble gases (or inert gases) are in group 8.oxygen is not a noble gas because in order to become a noble gas it is necessary to have a completely filled outermost shell. as oxygen has only 6 electrons in its outermost shell it is not a noble gas because noble gases have 8 electrons which completely fill the outermost shell
What element out of lithium neon silicon helium and chlorine have a filled outermost shell?
Magnesium
How many electrons does a sulfur have in its outermost shell?
Sulphur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
How many electrons on the outermost shell of calcium?
There are 2 electrons on the outermost shell of calcium.
How many electrons does carbon need to have the outermost energy shell filled?
Carbon needs to have 8 electron in its outermost shell to have it completely filled, 4 more valence electrons than it has in the neutral for of carbon.
In which is an atom least likely to bond with other atoms?
If it's outermost electron shell is filled.
In which case is an atom least likely to bond with an atom?
If it's outermost electron shell is filled.
When atoms end up with eight or zero valence electrons how are they different from they were before?
they become stable as they have completely filled outermost valence shell and if they have no electron in their outermost shell they become non reactive.
In which case is an atom least likely to bond with other atoms?
If it's outermost electron shell is filled.
Why are the alkali metals and the hologens very reactive?
Alkali metals have only 1 electron in their outermost (ultimate) shell. This means the atom needs energy to loose only one electron to have a completely filled outermost shell. Other atoms with 2 or 3 electrons would have needed more than twice or thrice the energy than these to loose electrons. Hence alkali metals are highly reactive compared to others. Like alkali metals, who need to LOOSE 1 electron to have a completely filled outermost shell, halogens need to GAIN 1 electron to have a completely filled outermost shell. With the same theory mentioned above, they are highly reactive.
Is S a noble gas?
no S is not a noble gas inorder to become a noble gas u need to have a completely filled outermost shell
Does krypton have a filled valence shell?
The outer shell is completely filled.

What is the link between noble gas and full outer shells?
Noble gases have completely filled valence electrons. Helium has 2, other elements have 8
