Which is more likely to form bonds an atom with 8valence electrons or an atom with fewer then 8 valence electrons?

An atom that has fewer than 8 valence electrons is more reactive, or more likely to form bonds, than an atom with 8 valence electron. Atoms bond by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons in order to have a filled outermost energy level with 8 valence electrons.


Element that has more valence electrons than oxygen fewer valence electrons than neon more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon?

The element in question is magnesium. It has 12 protons (more than sodium and less than argon), 2 more valence electrons than oxygen (which has 6), and 8 fewer valence electrons than neon (which has a full valence shell with 8 electrons).


What elements have less than eight valence electrons?

Any element except the elements in group 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 18 have lesser than 8 valence electrons.


Which atoms have a full set of valence electrons that's less than 8?

All of them. Except the noble gases.


Is -8 greater than 8 or less than?

-8 is less than 8


What is 80 electrons in each plus 3 cation?

This describes an ionic compound with an 8:3 ratio of electrons to cations. The cation has a charge of +3, meaning it has lost 3 electrons. The total number of electrons in the compound is 80.


Is -8 greter then 8?

-8 is less than all positive numbers, including 8. -8 is 8 less than 0, and 0 is eight less than 8.


When an atom or an ion has 8 valence electrons it is more or less stable than when it ha fewer than eight valence electrons?

When an atom or ion has 8 valence electrons, it is generally more stable, as it fulfills the octet rule. This stability is due to achieving a full outer electron shell, which is energetically favorable. Atoms or ions with fewer than 8 valence electrons may be more reactive, as they tend to gain or lose electrons to achieve a full octet.
