It will vary depending on the noble gas.
helium has 2, neon has 10, argon has 18, krypton has 36, xenon has 54, radon has 86.

∙ 11y agoA noble gas typically has 8 electrons, except for helium which has 2 electrons. They have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive.

∙ 11y agoA noble gas generally has 8 valence electrons. But helium has only 2

∙ 12y agoNoble Gasses will not form ions because they already have full shells of electrons, so the proton to electron ratio is 1:1.

Oxygen needs to gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet, like a noble gas.
Mg must lose 2 electrons to attain the electron configuration of a noble gas (in this case, Neon).
Krypton is a noble gas and need not lose electrons. It is already stable.
Krypton is a noble gas with 36 electrons.

Oxygen needs to gain 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration, as it has 6 valence electrons and wants a full valence shell of 8 electrons, like a noble gas.
8.
Strontium has 38 electrons. It needs to give up 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas electron configuration, similar to the nearest noble gas, which in this case is krypton (36 electrons).
it should gain 3 electrons

Calcium will lose two electrons to gain the noble gas configuration of Argon.
An atom of nitrogen needs 3 more electrons to achieve a stable, noble gas electron configuration. This would give nitrogen a total of 8 valence electrons, making it isoelectronic with a noble gas (in this case, neon).
It has 7 valence electrons, so needs 1 more to become noble.
