How many Valence electrons in a stable octet?
8 valence electrons
How many valence electrons do stable atoms have?
A stable atom has 8 electrons in its outer most valence shell. A simple way to remember this is that all atoms want to be like the noble gases which all have 8 electrons (except helium but the reason is complicated and not necessary here)
Are elements with 8 outer electrons stable?
yes
How many electrons of the most stable have in there outer energy level?
The most stable atoms/ions have 8 electrons in their outermost shell.
How many more electrons does Fluorine need to have a stable octet?
Fluorine needs one more electron to have a stable octet, as it has 7 valence electrons and stable octet configuration is achieved with 8 electrons.
How does a atom become stable?
When the atom has 8 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons are in a stable nonmetal ion?
8
How many electrons does sulfur need to be a stable octet?
Sulfur needs 2 more electrons to achieve a stable octet, making a total of 8 electrons in its outer shell to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Does an atom need 8 electrons in its outer shell to be stable?
YES!
What is the number of electrons in the most stable outer shells?
This number is 8.
2 Electron in firsat shell 8 electrons in second shell and 6 electrons in third shell?
No, its two electrons in the first, 8 electrons in the 2nd and 3rd shell if its stable
What makes an element stable?
an element is stable when it has a full outer shell of electrons. to abide by the octet rule it must have a shell of 2 then 8 electrons. An element with a full outer shell (8) will be stable and act like its nearest noble gas.
