How many neutrons and electrons in the element argon?
Argon has 18 protons, 18 electrons. The most stable isotope of argon (Ar-40) has 22 neutrons.
What is an element that is stable?
argon
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.
Is argon the only element with 18 electrons?
Yes. Argon is the only neutral element with 18 electrons. However, there can be other ions that can be isoelectronic (having same number of electrons) with argon. Cations such as K+, Ca2+ or Sc3+ have 18 electrons. Anions such as Cl-, S2- or P3- have 18 electrons.
Does Ca2 have the same number of electrons as the noble gas argon?
Yes. The ion Ca2+ and the element argon, have 18 electrons each.
How many neutrons and electrons in the element argon?
Argon has 18 protons, 18 electrons. The most stable isotope of argon (Ar-40) has 22 neutrons.
What is an element that is stable?
argon
How many electrons does the element argon have?
8 electrons
How many electrons does argon element have?
8 electrons
What are the characteristics of Argon?
Argon is a very stable element, and isn't very reactive.
What element has eighteen electrons?
As a neutral atom (When it is not an ion) the element argon has eighteen electrons.
Which element has same electron as argon?
The element that has the same number of electrons as argon is Krypton (Kr). Both argon (Ar) and krypton (Kr) have 18 electrons in their neutral state.
Is argon a stable element?
Yes, it is but I can't recall why but mark my words it is 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.
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.
Oxygen and argon are both gases Oxygen combines readily with other elements but argon does not What accounts for the difference?
Oxygen only has 6 outer electrons and wants to get to a stable 8. Argon already has a stable 8 outer electrons
An atom of argon rarely bonds to an atom of another element because an argon atom has?
An atom of argon has a completely filled outer shell. If you know about bonding, you will get what I mean. The argon atom does not want to give or receive or give electrons because it is already as stable as possible.
