(Kr)5s2 4d10 5p5
I- ion (iodine ion and not iodine) and xenon will have the same number of electrons (54 electrons)
Iodine accepts one electron to achieve noble gas configuration. Strontium loses two electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. Nitrogen accepts three electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. Krypton already has a noble gas configuration.
Iodine gains one electron to achieve a noble gas electron configuration. Its electron configuration is [Kr]5s²4d¹⁰5p⁵, and by gaining one electron, it attains the stable configuration of [Kr]5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶, which is similar to the noble gas xenon.
The element that gains 1 electron to attain the noble gas configuration of Xenon (Xe) is iodine (I). When iodine gains an electron, it achieves a stable electron configuration with a filled outer shell, similar to that of Xenon.
The complete electron-configuration notation for iodine is (1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^{10} 4p^5). In noble-gas notation, iodine can be represented as ([Kr] 4p^5), where ([Kr]) (krypton) represents the electron configuration of the preceding noble gas.
Iodine will gain one electron to form iodide anion which has the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas (xenon): [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p6 or 2, 8, 18, 18, 8.
The noble gas configuration of iodine (I) is [Kr] 5s^2 4d^10 5p^5. This means that it has the same electron configuration as krypton (Kr) with additional electrons filling the 5s, 4d, and 5p orbitals.
The noble gas that comes before iodine is krypton.
Iodine, located in Group 17 of the periodic table, has 7 valence electrons. To achieve a noble gas electron configuration (like Xenon), it must gain 1 electron to fill its valence shell and attain stability.
The noble configuration for Ca is [Ar]4s2.
Iodine is reactive because it has 7 valence electrons and is unstable. It needs one more electron to get 8, which would give it a noble gas configuration, and which would make the iodine atom stable. Iodine reacts with other elements in order to gain the needed electron and therefore become stable.
The element with the electron configuration Kr 5s2 4d10 5p5 is iodine, which has 53 electrons in total. The electron configuration indicates that iodine has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell, which is in the 5p subshell.
