Answer:

Hi there!

The correct answer is: Iodine will more likely gain one more electron to obtain  an octet.

Explanation:

Atoms are most stable when it has a full outermost electron shell, meaning it has 8 electrons. Plus it takes less energy to gain an electron than, giving away 7 electrons.

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom, how would you determine the valence of the element?
Mrrafil [7]
If we knew the number of electrons in the outermost shell, the valence electrons, then we could find the valency of the element by calculating how many electrons need to be gained or lost to achieve stable electronic configuration.
For example, if an element has 7 valence electrons, and requires 8 valence electrons to be stable, then its valency will be -1.
