This is the family of noble gases (group 18).
The families that contain a full octet of valence electrons are the noble gases, which include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. These elements have eight valence electrons (except helium, which has two) and are characterized by their lack of reactivity due to their stable electron configuration. In addition, some heavier elements in groups like the transition metals can also achieve a full octet in certain compounds, but the noble gases are the most notable for having a complete octet in their elemental forms.
it has a full octet
Radon, being a noble gas, has 8 valence electrons, giving it a stable octet.
The chemical elements tend to have 8 electrons in the valence shell.
Sulfur has 6 valence electrons. To achieve 8 valence electrons, sulfur must gain 2 electrons to fill its outer shell and satisfy the octet rule.
These are the noble gases.

8 valence electrons
No, carbon cannot expand its octet beyond four valence electrons.
A bromine anion has 8 valence electrons. This is because bromine, with 7 valence electrons, gains one extra electron when it forms an anion to achieve a full octet and become stable.
D. Noble Gases
An octet
it has a full octet
The octet rule.
six valence electrons.....It only requires two more to complete octet....
Oxygen needs to gain 2 electrons to reach an octet, as it has 6 valence electrons in its outer shell and requires a total of 8 electrons to have a stable octet configuration.
Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to complete its "octet", making it O2- with the electron configuration 1s22s22p6
