The valence/outer shell has to be completely full to be completely stable.
when angle 0 b/w dipole moment vector p and electric field vector E is zero then potential energy of dipole, U=-pEcos0 =-pE and torque=pEsin0=0;which means that the electric dipole is in stable equilibrium.
Noble gases have a set of eight outermost electrons, which forms a stable electron configuration known as an octet. This full outer shell makes noble gases highly stable and unreactive under normal conditions.
Argon does not have an electric configuration.
Na+ is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration.
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals / energy levels. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and have stable electronic configuration. Hence they are chemically inert and generally donot form compounds under normal conditions.
Silver forms anions by losing one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Strontium typically forms cations by losing two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Tin can form both cations and anions, depending on the reaction conditions. Iodine often forms anions by gaining one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
stable electronic configuration
Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration. Although the formation of an octet is the most stable electron configuration, other electron configurations provide stability. These relatively stable electron arrangements are referred to a pseudo-noble gas configuration.
The noble gas configuration for fermium (Fm) is [Rn] 5f12 7s2. It represents the electron configuration of fermium in a stable state, where it mimics the electron arrangement of the noble gas radon (Rn) to achieve a more stable configuration.
The electric charge that is characteristic for an ion of S sulfur is -2. Sulfur lies in the same group as oxygen on the periodic table, and therefore has the same valence configuration.
No group 18 element can react with fluorine under normal conditions, as they have a stable and inert configuration with full valence shells.
