An element that has 8 valence electrons is not likely to react chemically with other elements to form a compound. This is because elements with a full outer shell of 8 electrons (such as the noble gases) are generally stable and unreactive, meaning they tend not to form chemical bonds with other elements.
Which type of element is not likely to react chemically with other elements to form a compound?
an element that has 7 valence electrons
an element that has 8 valence electrons
an element that has 1 valence electron
an element that has electrons to share
