Helium only needs two electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
Stable.
No, an electron cannot jump to a filled energy level because Pauli's exclusion principle states that no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. Electrons can only transition to higher energy levels that are unoccupied or partially filled, allowing them to move to states that are energetically favorable. When an energy level is filled, it lacks available states for an electron to occupy.
filled. That would be 2 electrons for helium, and 8 electrons for the rest of the noble gases in group 18 on the periodic table.
Fluorine needs 8 valence electrons to have a filled outer energy level, following the octet rule. Fluorine naturally has 7 valence electrons, so it only requires one more electron to achieve a stable octet configuration.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
Bromine has 7 electrons in its outermost energy level.
Helium only needs two electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
8 electrons
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
Halogen family members, or elements in group 17, have 7 valence electrons.
Helium and neon will have their outer energy level filled with two electrons. Helium has 2 electrons in its only energy level, while neon has 8 electrons in its second energy level.
Stable.
This atom would be lithium (Li). It has 3 electrons, with 2 electrons in the first energy level and 1 electron in the third energy level.
Completely filled octet.
The neutral atom with the specified electron configuration has 10 electrons in total. This atom is neon (symbol: Ne), which has a total of 10 electrons and has its first two energy levels filled with 2 and 8 electrons, respectively, while the third energy level contains 6 electrons.
The carbon atom's second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Carbon has 6 electrons, so the percentage of the second energy level that is filled is 6/8 = 75%.
