An electron in an arsenic atom (or an electron in anyatom) will have a charge of -1. That's the characteristic charge of the electron, and all electrons exhibit that characteristic. It is expressed identically in each of the little guys.

What is the most likely charge on an ion when hydrogen forms an ion?

When hydrogen forms an ion, it is most likely to have a charge of +1, forming a hydrogen ion (H+). This is because hydrogen has one electron in its outer shell, so it tends to lose this electron to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of helium.


What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns 1?

The most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns1 is +1. This is because elements with ns1 configuration tend to lose one electron to achieve a stable noble gas configuration, which results in a +1 charge.


What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns2 np4?

The element with a valence electron configuration of ns2 np4 is sulfur (S). Since it needs to gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, it is most likely to form an ion with a charge of -2.


What is the most likely charge on an ion of phosphorus P?

Which event would most likely result in arsenic poisoning in the US today?

The most likely reason for arsenic poisoning today is from ground water that naturally contains high concentrations of arsenic. Chronic exposure to arsenic is related to vitamin A deficiency which is related to heart disease and night blindness.

Zn will most likely get a 2+ (positive) charge!


Why is the first ionization energy of arsenic is greater than the first ionization energy of germanium because?

There's two ways to answer this question. First electron configurations with half-filled sublevels are more stable then electron configurations that don't have half-filled sublevels. Since Selenium is one elctron away from achieving a more stable half-filled sublevel configuration it more readily gives up it's outermost electron, so less energy is requires to remove the outermost electron. Arsenic already has the stable configuration of half-filled sublevel so it wouldn't give up it's electron as readily, so more energy is required to remove it. Another way to look at it is that Selenium's outermost electron is in a p orbital that already has an electron so there is electron electron repulsion present in that orbital so it's attraction to the nucleus is less which is why less energy is required to remove it so the ionization energy is less. Arsenic has it's outermost electron unpaired in the p orbital so there is no electron electron repulsion present in that orbital so more energy is required to remove it then for Selenium's outer most electron. Hope this helps!
