Whenever the outside shell of the atom, or valence shell, is completely full with electrons.
Ex: The noble gases are lucky enough to start out stable because they fill their outer shells.
For an element to be stable, it must have a full outer shell (valence shell) of electrons. An element with a full outer shell of electrons will act like its nearest noble gas and be stable. Most elements require 8 valence electrons to be stable, however H needs 2.
Stable electronic configuration is when the valence shell of an element is completely filled (8 electrons) whereas unstable electronic configuration is when the valence shell of an element is not completely filled
The most stable number of valence electrons is 2 for hydrogen and helium, which have only one electron shell in the shell model for atomic electron configurations, and 8 for all other elements.
Valence Electrons are the electrons that are located furthest away from the atom itself in the outermost electron shell. They are located on the last energy level also known as the valence level.
Only when their outer shell is saturated>>>>>>>>>>>>

The valence/outer shell has to be completely full to be completely stable.
Valence electrons are the amount of electrons in the outermost electron shell. 8 valence electrons fill the outer shell making it completely stable.
Stable electronic configuration is when the valence shell of an element is completely filled (8 electrons) whereas unstable electronic configuration is when the valence shell of an element is not completely filled
Valence electron are found in the outer shell of an atom. Depending on the number of valence electrons, the atom is more or less stable: fewer => less stable and more => more stable (inert). Stable = less likely to react with other atoms.
No, sulfur has only 6 valence electrons. Atoms with 8 valence electrons are most stable and generally chemically inert.
The most stable number of valence electrons is 2 for hydrogen and helium, which have only one electron shell in the shell model for atomic electron configurations, and 8 for all other elements.
It's outer valence shell is full.
It's valence shell (outermost shell of atom) is full and stable.
Chemical reactions occur so that atoms can gain a noble gas valence shell configuration in their valence shell and become stable and have lower energy.
Krypton is a noble gas and hence has stable electronic configuration. Its valence shell configuration is 4s2 4p6 . Therefore, it has 1-s and 3-p full orbitals in its valence shell.
Valence Electrons are the electrons that are located furthest away from the atom itself in the outermost electron shell. They are located on the last energy level also known as the valence level.
