hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium
The noble gases is the most stable group of elements. They have their outer electron energy levels full, but the number of electrons vary according to which noble gas it is. They are group 18 on the periodic table.
When the outermost energy level is filled, the atom is stable. Nature always tries to achieve stability.
Eight electrons, called an octet, are needed by most atoms in order to be stable.
Sodium only has one electron in its outer energy level which it wants to lose in order to leave a stable octet of electrons in the level below. Loss of one electron causes a charge of plus 1 on the remaining ion.Magnesium has two electrons in its outer energy level, thus by losing these it takes on a charge of plus 2 and leaves a stable octet of electrons below in the next energy level.
Neon is a noble gas, therefore it is stable meaning that its outer energy ring is full. It has 8 elections on its outer energy level. Check out the related link for a picture of a model of Neons atom.
They share their valence electrons
Stable.
All the noble gases Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon have a stable octet of electrons in their outer energy level.
Noble gas
The most stable atoms/ions have 8 electrons in their outermost shell.

8 electrons
The noble gases is the most stable group of elements. They have their outer electron energy levels full, but the number of electrons vary according to which noble gas it is. They are group 18 on the periodic table.
it is called complete or completely stable
yes
Group 8
Most atoms require eight electrons in the outer shell to be stable. The exception is atoms that are only filling the s1 orbital, which becomes stable with only two electrons.
