Those with a stable octet are referred to as noble gases. They are highly stable elements. For eg:- Helium, Neon and Argon. A few compounds of Xenon and Argon have been formed, but these are referred as Noble gases.

How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of carbon and how many does it need to have this energy level filled?

Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.


What is the outermost energy level of an atom is considered full if the level contains?

Outermost energy level is full if there are 8 electrons in the valence shell.


How many electrons does phosphorus have in its outermost principal energy level?

Phosphorus has 5 electrons in its outermost principal energy level.


An atom contains seven electrons in its outermost energy level the atom is what?

The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.

How many electrons will a neutral sulfur atom have in its outermost energy level?

A neutral sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level. Sulfur has 16 electrons, with 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 electrons in the second energy level, and 6 electrons in the third and outermost energy level.


Explain how valence electrons in an atom are used to form a full outermost energy level?

Atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outermost energy level by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, and having a full outermost energy level makes the atom more stable. This stability is achieved when there are eight electrons in the outermost energy level, known as the octet rule.
