An element with 8 valence electrons would most likely belong to Group 18, also known as the noble gases. Elements in this group are characterized by having a full outer shell of electrons, which makes them very stable and generally unreactive.
Use the periodic table to respond to the following question. If an element has 8 valence electrons, what group would the element most
likely belong to on the periodic table?
(1 point)
