8. It is sometimes said, "A noble gas configuration is especially stable so atoms or ions with sucha configuration are energetically favourable." This would imply, for example, that Nat is morestable than Na, or that N³- is more stable than N. Comment on the validity of this statementusing arguments based upon content in this Unit.
