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.
equal numbers of protons and electrons
8.
equal numbers of protons and electrons
it should gain 3 electrons
Calcium will lose two electrons to gain the noble gas configuration of Argon.
It has 7 valence electrons, so needs 1 more to become noble.
4 but it will need energy, so carbon gain 4 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.
An atom of silicon needs to gain 4 electrons in its 3p sublevel to attain the noble gas electron configuration of argon, the noble gas in period 3 of the periodic table.

Xenon is a noble gas belonging to group 18. It has eight valence electrons.
Se has to gain two electrons
[He] 2s2 2p2 So 6 electrons in all
All noble gasses contain electrons. In fact, all gasses contain electrons.
