Which noble gas has the same number of electrons as an ion of barium?

There is no such noble gas with the same electron configuration as helium ion. Helium is the first noble gas, is stable and does not form ions. There can be, however, other ions such as H- or Li+ that will have the same number of electrons as element helium.

If calcium lost two electrons it would have the same number of electrons as?

Argon


Number of electrons in argon?

In any neutral atom, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons, and that is defined as the atomic number of the atom. The atomic number of argon is 18; therefore, each atom contains 18 electrons.


Does argon has the same number of electrons in its outer shell as magnesium metal?

No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
