A stable electron configuration refers to an atom in which the outer electron shell is full. Outermost electron shells hold a maximum of 2, 8, 8, 18,...(etc.) electrons. With an outer shell of 2 electrons, the Periodic Table shows that helium has a stable electron configuration. The next stable configuration of an element has 10 (2 + 8) electrons. This is neon. Neon is followed by argon, with 18 (2 + 8 + 8) electrons. Krypton, with 36 (2 + 8 + 8 + 18) electrons is next. The remaining stable configurations follow a similar pattern, based on the maximum number of electrons able to fit into the outermost ring. These elements are extremely stable and rarely react with other elements. They are referred to as the noble gases or inert elements. Atoms of other elements may bond with each other or different elements to form molecules having full outermost shells of electrons.
Many stable ions have the configuration of a noble gas.
Valence electrons should be eight or the shell should be completely filled.
Stable electron configurations are those of the noble gases in group 18. Atoms undergo chemical bonding in order to obtain noble gas configurations, which makes them stable.
noble gas
Yes. Helium, Xenon, and Neon have stable electron numbers (octette rule).
yes as a duplet electron has to electrons in its outtermost shell.:)
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
A completley filled out electron level makes the atom stable
an element with 2 valence electrons can obtain a stable electron configuration by "kicking out" two electrons to have the same electron config as the noble gas in the previous period
The group of elements that have a stable electron configuration are the noble gases.
its not stable because last orbit need to loose electron to be stable
Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.

Yes. Helium, Xenon, and Neon have stable electron numbers (octette rule).
Na+ is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration.
any time there are as many electrons and protons and they fill each orbital optimally.
yes as a duplet electron has to electrons in its outtermost shell.:)
What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
A stable radical is a radical that is not changing. A radical is a molecule or atom that has an unpaired electron.
it does not stable thats why
ionization!
Yes.
