Which elements having the most stable electron configuration?

Answer 1

• The most stable configuration is when the entire shell is full (noble gas configuration). Next best is when a specific orbital (s, p, d, f, etc.) is completely full, even if the shell is not complete. Next best after that is when a specific orbital is exactly half full.

• All atoms would like to attain electron configurations like noble gases, i.e., have completed outer shells. Atoms can form stable electron configurations like noble gases by losing electrons, gaining electrons and sharing electrons. For a stable configuration each atom must fill its outer energy level. In the case of noble gases there will be eight electrons in the valence (outer most) shell (with the exception of He which has two electrons). Atoms that have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outer levels will tend to lose them in interactions with atoms that have 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their outer levels. Atoms that have 5, 6 or 7 electrons in their outer levels will tend to gain electrons from atoms with 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outer levels. Atoms that have 4 electrons in the outer most energy level will tend neither to totally lose nor totally gain electrons during interactions and thus they tend to share electrons.

Answer 2

Noble gases, such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, have the most stable electron configurations due to having a full outer electron shell. This arrangement makes them chemically inert and less likely to form bonds with other atoms.

Answer 3

In chemistry, the noble gases (neon, argon, krypton xenon radon) with an outer electron shell containing 8 electrons, 2 in s orbitals and 6 in p orbitals are considered to be the most stable, as the noble gases are relatively un-reactive.

Answer 4

A full valence shell (8-electron rule) is the most stable configuration of an atom.

Therefore the noble gases like Helium and Neon are inert and very stable since they have 8 electrons in their valence shell (i.e. their outer shell)

Answer 5

Electron configurations where n equals the energy level, ns2 np6 have the greatest stability.

Answer 6

amongst other factor is when its valence shell is filled.

for highschool students this means 8 valence electrons

Answer 7

The noble gas configuration is known as the most stable configuration that an atom can achieve. In other words, the valence shell with ns2 np6 electron configuration.

Answer 8

NOBEL GASES without a doubt

Answer 9

Elements in group 13

Answer 10

The noble gasses.
