Verified step by step guidance

Identify the type of elements given: Sodium (Na), Oxygen (O), Neon (Ne), and Chlorine (Cl).

Understand the concept of electron sharing: Atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, often following the octet rule.

Consider the electron configuration of each element: Sodium (Na) has 1 electron in its outer shell, Oxygen (O) has 6, Neon (Ne) has 8, and Chlorine (Cl) has 7.

Recognize that noble gases like Neon (Ne) already have a full outer shell and are unlikely to share electrons.

Determine which element is most likely to share electrons to achieve a full outer shell: Oxygen (O) needs 2 more electrons to complete its octet, making it more likely to share electrons compared to the others.
