What is the difference between noble gas and full outer shell?
Noble gases or the inert gases as they are become know as have a full outer shell. It is possible to get different elements to fill in the last outer shell but it is extremely difficult to take electrons from a noble gas therefore when you ask what the difference is the question is perhaps not phrased properly because there is no difference they are two different categories. A noble gas is an element with a full outer shell and full outer shell is when an element has filled all of the max electrons in the last orbital.
Why is iron magnetic and nickel or copper is not?
Iron is magnetic because it has unpaired electrons in its outer shell that align in the presence of a magnetic field. Nickel and copper do not have as many unpaired electrons in their outer shell, making them non-magnetic under normal conditions.
How many electrons would hydrogen need to have a full outer she?
Hydrogen has one electron in its outer shell and typically needs one more electron to achieve a full outer shell, which would complete its valence shell with two electrons (like helium). Therefore, hydrogen would need one additional electron to have a full outer shell.
Does Sodium have a full outer valence shell?
Sodium does not have a full outer valence shell. It has one electron in its outermost shell, which makes it very reactive and likely to lose that electron to achieve stability.
Do noble gases have full outer shell of electrons?
Yes, noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, which makes them highly stable and unreactive with other elements. This full outer shell configuration is why they are commonly referred to as inert gases.
Does calcium have a full outer shell?
Calcium has a full 4s sublevel, but does not have a full "outer shell", per se, because it is not a noble gas.
Is nickel electron shell full or not full?
nickel's outside electron shell is not full.
Does lithium have a full outer shell?
no it only has 1 electron in the outer shell
What would be the charge of a beryllium atom that has a full outer shell?
Beryllium has 2 outer shell electrons. Its full electronic configuration is:- 1s2, 2s2
Is sodiums outer shell full?
Yes

Is nickel or Xenon more reactive?
Nickel is more reactive than xenon. Nickel is a transition metal and can undergo various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and reduction, whereas xenon is a noble gas and is generally unreactive due to its full outer shell of electrons.
Why is iron magnetic and nickel or copper is not?
Iron is magnetic because it has unpaired electrons in its outer shell that align in the presence of a magnetic field. Nickel and copper do not have as many unpaired electrons in their outer shell, making them non-magnetic under normal conditions.

If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
Do noble gases have full outer shell of electrons?
Yes, noble gases have a full outer shell of electrons, which makes them highly stable and unreactive with other elements. This full outer shell configuration is why they are commonly referred to as inert gases.
