When the element sulfur forms a negative ion it has the same electron configuration as?
Argon
What is electron configuration for argon?
The atomic number of argon is 18. So it has 18 electrons. Its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8 or [Ne] 3s2 3p6
What is the abbreviated electron configuration for argon?
The element argon (atomic number 18) has the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p6 which can be abbreviated [Ne] 3s23p6
How many electrons must be lost Ca to attains a noble gas electron?
Calcium must lose 2 electrons and will become Ca2+. It will then have the electron configuration of Argon, a noble gas.
Electron configuration for argon?
The electron configuration, in standard form, is [Ne] 3s2 3p6
When this element gains 2 electrons it has the electron configuration of the noble gas Argon?
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
What is the electronic configuration of the sulfide ion?
1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 The sulfur ion has 16 electrons but sulfide has a charge of negative 2, increasing its electron count by two for a total of 18 electrons, giving it the same electron configuration as Argon (this means it is also isoelectronic with Argon)
When the element sulfur forms a negative ion it has the same electron configuration as?
Argon
How many electrons does sulfur gain to attain a noble gas configuration?
Gain two electrons to have the electron configuration as Argon
What is the electron configuration with an atom with eighteen electrons?
Argon (Ar): [Ne].3s2.3p6
How is the electron configuration of Sulfur consistent with the formation of Na2S and SF6?
Sulfur has six valence electrons and can therefore attain an inert gas configuration in two different ways: by accepting two electrons to attain the electron configuration of argon or donating or sharing six electrons to attain the electron configuration of neon. In combination with the much less electronegative element sodium, sulfur accepts one electron from each of two sodium atoms to form the ionic compound Na2S, but in combination with the more electronegative element fluorine, sulfur shares its six valence electrons with each of six fluorine atoms to form six polar covalent bonds with fluorine.
What is electron configuration for argon?
The atomic number of argon is 18. So it has 18 electrons. Its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8 or [Ne] 3s2 3p6
What noble gas has the same electronic configuration as fluorine?
K+ and argon have the same electron configuration
How many electrons are in the outer shell of an argon atom?
The electron configuration of argon is [Ne] 3s2 3p6. From this, we can see that the outer shell contains eight electrons.
When a calcium atom loses its valence electrons the ion formed has an electron configuration that is the same as an atom of?
Argon. Calcium has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2, and when it loses its valence electrons (the outermost 4s2 electrons) it has a configuration identical to argon. If you don't know about sublevels, then disregard that. Calcium has a configuration of 2-8-8-2, and when it loses its 2 valence electrons, it has a configuration identical to argon in the ground state. Hope that cleared it up
How is the ion of sulfur formed?
sulfur has 16 electrons with a neutral charge the most common ion formed is the sulfide ion, with a negative 2 charge to get a negative 2 charge, it gains 2 electrons, thus fulfilling the octet rule and acquiring the electron configuration of argon
What is Ne 3s2 3p4?
Sulfur
