It is full
No, an atom of neon has 10 electrons while a chloride ion (CI-) has 18 electrons. Neon is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, whereas a chlorine ion gains an electron to attain a full outer shell and has a negative charge.
In the Lewis representation of a neon atom, there would be two dots representing the 2 valence electrons of neon. Neon belongs to group 18 of the periodic table, so it has a full outer shell of electrons and does not form chemical bonds.
An atom is least likely to bond with other atoms when its outer electron shell is full, so it is stable and does not need to gain or lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell. Examples include noble gases like helium, neon, and argon.
Yes, helium, xenon, and neon all have stable electron configurations. Helium has a full outer electron shell with 2 electrons, xenon has a full outer shell with 8 electrons, and neon has a full outer shell with 8 electrons as well.
A neutral aluminum atom has 3 electrons in its outer shell and a full outer shell of 8 electrons below that. This full outer shell is stable, so aluminum will lose its 3 outer shell electrons to achieve that configuration.
A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.

Neon is a noble gas, which means all it's electrons shells are full. innermost shell has space for 2 electrons, followed by 8 in the next shell, 8 in the next shell and so on. Answer therefore is 2.
Ne 3s23p4 refers to the electron configuration of an atom of the element neon. It indicates that neon has two electrons in the 3s orbital and four electrons in the 3p orbital, giving a total of 10 electrons in its outer shell. Neon is a noble gas and is stable due to having a complete outer shell.
They all have a full outer electron shell, making them stable. However, the fluoride ion and sodium ion are charged particles (ions) due to the gain or loss of electrons, while neon is a neutral atom because it has a complete outer electron shell naturally.
Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.
Neon is a noble gas, meaning its outer electron shell is already filled, making it very stable. Since it already has a full outer electron shell, neon atoms do not tend to gain or lose electrons because they are in a stable configuration.
