Answer:

Its C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 6 because there are 6 dots on the outer circle and those are the valence electrons. Also I just did it on Edge. Hope this helps.

No, it does not, because the octet rule says that an atom needs to have eight electrons in its valence shell to be stable. The exceptions are hydrogen and helium, which need only two electrons. This atom has only one electron.
