Question

how do atoms attain noble gas configuration ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Elements forming covalent compounds achieve noble gas configuration by sharing electrons within the atoms, unlike ionic compounds which achieve the noble gas configuration either by gaining or losing electrons from the outermost electron shell.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Two fluorine atoms can also acquire stable noble gas configurations by mutual sharing of electrons, i.e. Thus , atoms gain stability by either losing/gaining, or by mutual sharing of valence electrons, i.e., all atoms(except hydrogen) during chemical reactions, tend to have 8 electrons in their outermost shell by either losing, gaining or by sharing the electrons .
