Match the following orbitals with the requirement for writing out the electron configuration instead of using the group number for valence electrons.

• Transition metals with variable oxidation states

• Elements in the s-orbital

• Lanthanides and actinides with complex electron configurations

• Elements in the d-orbital

• Elements that follow the octet rule

• Elements in the p-orbital

• Elements that typically have a filled or half-filled subshell

• Elements in the f-orbital

Atoms become ions to (a)  

• To gain more protons
• To lose neutrons
• To achieve a full valence shell
• To change their atomic number

What is the significance of having a full valence shell?

• It makes the atom unstable

• It increases the atom's reactivity

• It provides stability and low energy

• It changes the atom's color
