D. S-2

Electron configuration has to do with the number of electrons, so using a Periodic Table, it is easy to find this answer.

  • For example, O-2 has 2 more electrons than usual, so move two spaces to the right, which is neon.
  • For F- , it is the same way. Since it is a minus 1, move one space to the right, which is neon.
  • For Al+3 there are 3 LESS electrons than usual so move back(to the right) 3 spaces, which is neon.
  • For S-2 , the answer to your problem, has the same electron configuration as Argon.
  • For Mg+2 there are 2 less electrons so moving back 2 spaces gives you neon.

Remember 'minus' means more electrons so for electron configurations you move forward on the Periodic table for ions with negative charge and backwards if the ion is positive.

Which metals forms ions with a noble gas electron configuration?

Transition metals such as copper, silver, and gold can form ions with a noble gas electron configuration. This occurs when they lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the nearest noble gas.


Can negative ions have a noble gas electron configuration?

yes


Do ions have the same electron configuration as noble gases?

The stable ions of all the elements except the Transition metals, Actinide, and Lanthanide series (that is the d and f block elements) form stable ions that are isoelectronic to a nobel gas by gaining or losing electrons in order to achieve an s2 p6 stable octet. For example, sodium will lose one electron to have the same electron configuration as neon, while nitrogen will gain three electrons to become isoelectronic to neon.


Does this ions has a noble gas configuration Thallium 4?

No, thallium (Tl) has an electron configuration of [Xe] 4f^14 5d^10 6s^2 6p^1. This configuration does not match the electron configuration of a noble gas.


Which ions has the same electron configuration of a noble gas ca or ci?

What is the noble gas electron configuration of sodium chloride?

In NaCl, there exists Na+ and Cl- ions and with the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6 (for Na+) and [Ne]3s23p6 (for Cl-)


State the importance of the noble-gas electron configuration in the formation of ions?

Chemical properties depend on electron configuration. By either gaining or losing electrons, an atom changes its electron configuration and therefore its chemical properties also change.The atoms of an element will react to achieve a noble-gas configuration. The atoms will either gain or lose electrons to achieve such a configuration.


Is electron configuration for any ion is the same as its nearest noble gas?

No, the electron configuration for an ion is not always the same as that of its nearest noble gas. When an atom loses or gains electrons to form an ion, its electron configuration changes. For example, a sodium ion (Na⁺) has the electron configuration of [Ne], which is the same as neon, but a chloride ion (Cl⁻) also has the same configuration as argon ([Ar]). Thus, while some ions can have configurations similar to noble gases, this is not universally true for all ions.


What is the noble gas electron configuration of sodium fluoride?

The noble gas electron configuration of sodium fluoride is [Ne]3s^1 3p^5. This means that it has the same electron configuration as neon, with an additional 3s^1 electron from sodium and a 3p^5 electron from fluorine.


What ions does not have a noble gas electron configuration S-2 Sr 2 I- Cs or Be 3?

Cs does not have a nobel gas electron configuration, as it contains one valence electron in its outermost s orbital. Be3+ also does have a nobel gas electron configuration, as this occurs when Be has a 2+ charge (the typical Be ion is Be2+).


What ions does not have a noble gas electron configuration S 2 Sr 2 you Cs or Be 3?

Be3+ has only 2 valence electron and not 8.


What is the symbol if ions achieve a noble gas configuration?

The symbiol depends on the type of noble gas. So its not constant. It may be positive or even negative.
