Best Answer

[Xe]

Normally the electronic configuration for Barium would be [Xe] 6s2, but since you want it for Ba2+, you're missing two electrons. You get rid of the 6s2 and get [Xe].

How many electrons must a barium atom lose to form an ion with noble-gas configuration?

Two electrons are donated by Barium to an oxidant (nonmetal, eg. O2) by which barium gets oxidised.Ba --> Ba2+ + 2e-This is because Ba is in group 2 of the periodic system, belonging to the 'earth alkali' metals and so it has 2 electrons (2e-) in its valency (or outer) shell (2,8,18,18,8,2). Hence Ba2+ configuration is (2,8,18,18,8,-), with an empty (-) 6th shell (the 'P' shell) like Xenon.


What is the formula for ionic compound formed between barium and nitrate?

Ba(NO3)2. Barium forms divalent cations, and the nitrate polyatomic anion has only one negative charge.


What noble gas has the same electron configuration as Ba?

There is no noble gas with the same electronic configuration as the element barium (Ba). But Ba2+ ion and the noble gas xenon (Xe) will have the same number of electrons (54 electrons each).


How many electrons does barium have to give up in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?

2 electrons as barium has 56 electrons so it will lose two electrons to reach the electronic structure of the nearest noble gas which is xenon 54 electrons
