How could each what atoms react to achieve a noble gas configuration?
if the atom is an element from groups 1, 2, or 13, the atom has to give up electrons to make it have 8. For example, if you have Boron in group 13, it has 3 valence electrons, making it more likely to give up electrons than gain them. If you take 3 electrons from Boron, you get Helium. Helium is the noble-gas for Boron. B(+3) has a noble-gas configuration of He. if the atom is an element from groups 15, 16, or 17, the atom has to gain electrons to make it have 8. For example, if you have Oxygen with 6 valence electrons, it is more likely to gain electrons than lose them. If 2 electrons are added to Oxygen the noble-gas configuration becomes Neon. O(-2) has a noble-gas configuration of Ne. if the atom is an element in group 14, it can either gain or lose electrons. so the noble gas configuration could be the 4 electrons less or 4 electrons more than it. For example, if you add 4 electrons to Carbon you get Neon but if you take away 4 electrons you get Helium.
Why are noble gases less reactive than halogens?
Noble gases all have 8 electrons in their outter most energy level. when an atom has 8 electrons in it's outtermost layer, then its more stable
When an atom has more electrons than protons it is?
An atom with more protons than electrons is a cation.
If an atom has lost more protons than electrons it is called a ion?
If the atom has more electrons than protons, then yes it is an ion.
What is the charge of an atom with one electron more than protons?
If the atom has more electrons than protons than the atom will be negative.

Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge.

What is the charge of an atom with one electron more than protons?
If the atom has more electrons than protons than the atom will be negative.
Why is the radius of anion more than the corresponding atom?
An anion has more electrons than a neutral atom.
What is the atom with the most electrons than protons is called?
If you mean an atom with more electrons than protons it is called an ion. More specifically an anion (negatively charged)
Are there the same amount of protons as there are of electrons in and atom?
NoYes. A neutral atom will have the same number of protons and electrons.
When an atom has more electrons that protons it is?
An anion is an ion with more electrons than protons.
What does it mean if an atom is said to be charged?
It means that the atom has more or less electrons than protons, making it either positive (less electrons than proton), or negative (more electrons than protons).
What effect does the charge of the atom have on the number of protons?
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
