Pseudo-noble gas configurations

Back

Relatively stable electron arrangements formed by elements in groups 11–14, which lose electrons to create an outer energy level with full s, p, and d sublevels.

Octet formation

Back

The most stable electron configuration, though other configurations like pseudo-noble gas, can also provide stability.
