Is argon a ion?
Argon's an element.
What has 18 electrons and a charge of -3?
The phosphorus -3 ion. The phosphorus -3 ion gains 3 electrons and acts like argon.
What is the ion formula for argon?
Argon does not normally form ions.
Does argon want to form an ion?
No, it does not.
Is argon an ion?
No, it is a monatomic gas.
What is the charge of a sulfide ion that is isoelectric with its nearest noble gas?
The charge of a sulfide ion that is isoelectric with its nearest noble gas (argon) is -2. This means that the sulfide ion has gained two electrons in order to have the same electron configuration as the noble gas.
Is argon a ion?
Argon's an element.
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 has 18 electrons and a charge of -3?
The phosphorus -3 ion. The phosphorus -3 ion gains 3 electrons and acts like argon.
What is the ion formula for argon?
Argon does not normally form ions.
Is the electron arrangement in an ion similar to neon or to argon?
Argon
Sulfur forms an ion of what charge?
2- Because, to get a full octet, Sulfur gains two electrons to become like Argon, thus it gains a charge of 2-.
What is the charge if the ion formed when phosphorus achieves a noble gas configuration?
[Ne]3s^23p^6P3-. P is in group V (group 15 moden periodic table) so gains three electrons, each carrying a 1- charge.
When chlorine gains an electron to become a chloride ion with a -1 charge it ends up with the same electron arrangement as argon. Why doesn't it become an argon atom?
It doesn't become an argon atom because it (Cl-) still has 17 protons, and an argon atom has to have 18 protons.
Is the electron arrangement in an ion of chlorine similar to neon or argon?
Argon
Is argon an ion?
No, it is a monatomic gas.
Does argon want to form an ion?
No, it does not.
