Stable electronic configuration & unstable configuration.
Answer
| Stable Electronic Configuration | Unstable Electronic Configuration |
|---|---|
| Atoms having their valence shell completely filled are said to have Stable Electronic Configuration. | Atoms which do not have their valence shells completely filled are said to have Unstable Electronic Configuration. |
| Atoms of noble gases have Stable Electronic Configuration. | Atoms of elements other than noble gases have Unstable Electronic Configuration. |
| In atoms with Stable Electronic Configuration, electrons are arranged as per Duplet or Octet rule. | In atoms with Unstable Electronic Configuration, arrangement of electrons does not follow Duplet or Octet rule. |
