No.
Oxygen needs 2 more valence electrons to have a full outer shell. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, and a full outer shell for oxygen is achieved at 8 valence electrons.

Oxygen has six valence electrons and requires two additional electrons to achieve a full outer valence shell, which is complete with eight electrons. This is in accordance with the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to attain a stable configuration of eight electrons in their outer shell.
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Sodium would need to gain 7 electrons to fill its valance shell. Instead of doing that, however, sodium will lose the one valence electron it does have, leaving behind the shell below it, which is already full.
Sodium has 1 electron in its outer shell, and it needs to lose that one electron to achieve a full outer shell (valence shell) with 8 electrons. By losing this one electron, sodium will achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas neon.

No. Xenon doesn't react, it's a noble gas (meaning it has a full outer shell of valence electrons).
Sodium has 1 valence electron in its outer shell. By losing this electron, sodium achieves a full outer shell, which is more stable. This stable configuration is achieved by following the octet rule, where atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to have 8 electrons in their outer shell.
the electrons on their outer shell, all atoms want to gain a full valence shell.

The transfer of an electron between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom occurs because sodium has one electron in its outer shell that it wants to lose to achieve a more stable electron configuration, while chlorine has seven electrons in its outer shell and can gain one from sodium to complete its outer shell and achieve stability by forming a full octet. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of sodium chloride, an ionic compound.
Sodium and magnesium have a valency of 1 because they have 1 electron in their outermost energy level. By losing this electron, they achieve a full outer shell and become stable with a positive charge of +1.
None. Neon is a noble gas, a category of elements that exist in nature as inert gasses. In special situations, neon can be made to react with other elements, but in ordinary conditions, neon is inert, which just means non-reactive. It's outer orbit is full--it doesn't want to give up the electrons it has, or to take any more.
