When is an element said to be chemically reactive?

An element is said to be chemically reactive when it combines with another element. These two elements will create a new compound.


Is an element with eight valence electrons chemically unstable?

An element with eight valence electrons is typically chemically stable, as this configuration corresponds to a full outer shell according to the octet rule. Elements with a full valence shell, such as the noble gases, are generally inert and do not readily participate in chemical reactions. However, under specific conditions or in certain compounds, even these stable elements can exhibit reactivity.


When chlorine gains an electron what achieves a complete octet?

when chlorine gains an electron, it now now contains a full octet. this means that the chlorine element is now chemically perfect and now is stable , but not as stable as one of the Noble Gases


The noble gases do not readily form compounds because they are or are not chemically stable?

The noble gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable. This stability is due to their full outer electron shells, which makes them unlikely to gain, lose, or share electrons with other elements to form bonds.


When an atom of one element combines chemically with an atom of another element both atoms usually attain the stable highest energy level configuration of a?

Both atoms usually attain the stable highest energy level configuration of a noble gas. This occurs through the sharing, gaining, or losing of electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, which is the most stable configuration.
