In forming the molecule HF the F atom attains the electron configuration of?
Fluorine attains the electron configuration of neon (the nearest noble gas).
What do atoms other than the Noble Gases have to do in order to become stable?
Atoms gain, lose or share electrons and try to attain noble gas configuration.
What element gains 1 electron and attains the noble gas configuration of Xe?
xenon
What is the name of the ion formed when sulfur attains a noble gas electron configuration?
Sulfide, S2-
What group attains Electron Configuration of noble gases by gaining one electron?
nitrogen will get noble gas configuration by adding three more electrons.
When a stable molecule is formed what is the configuration of its atoms' outer shells?
The atoms of the molecule effectively achieve a noble gas configuration by sharing valence electrons.
Why lithium highly reactive?
if lithium loses one electron it attains the stable noble gas electron configuration of helium. hence it is highly reactive.
In forming the molecule HF the F atom attains the electron configuration of?
Fluorine attains the electron configuration of neon (the nearest noble gas).
What do atoms other than the Noble Gases have to do in order to become stable?
Atoms gain, lose or share electrons and try to attain noble gas configuration.
What element gains 1 electron and attains the noble gas configuration of Xe?
xenon
What is the name of the ion formed when sulfur attains a noble gas electron configuration?
Sulfide, S2-
What is important about the electron configuration of the noble gases?
By acquiring noble gas configuration elements become stable .
Why does argon not form ions?
Atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration of electrons, which is stable. Argon already has such a configuration and is very stable as it is. Any gain or loss of electrons would make it less stable.
What group attains Electron Configuration of noble gases by gaining one electron?
nitrogen will get noble gas configuration by adding three more electrons.
What rule helps us determine the most stable electron configuration and charge of a particular ion?
atoms in stable compounds almost always have a noble gas electron configuration or when representative metals and nonmetals react, thay transferelectrons in such a way that both th cation and the anion have noble gas electron configuration.
What is noble gas configuration for francium?
it attains the configuration of neon or [He]2s22p6
Is xenon a single atoms?
Yes. Xenon is noble gas with stable electronic configuration. It does not combine with other elements or itself under STP and exists as single atoms (mono atomic).
