[Ne] 3s2
Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons. To attain a noble gas configuration, Mg would need to lose 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration as a noble gas (like neon). This would result in Mg forming a +2 ion.
Electron Configuration for Mg: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 Noble Gas Notation for Mg: [Mg] 3s2
It should loose 2 electrons to become a noble gas.
The noble gas that has the same electron configuration as magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) is neon (Ne). When magnesium loses two electrons to form Mg²⁺, it has the electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶, which is identical to that of neon. Thus, both Mg²⁺ and Ne have a complete octet in their outer shell.
The noble gas configuration of Mg2+ is [Ne] because the magnesium atom loses two electrons to form the Mg2+ ion. The electron configuration of Ne is 1s2 2s2 2p6, so when Mg loses its two valence electrons, it achieves a stable electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas Ne.
The noble gas electron configuration of radon is [Xe]4f145d106s26p6.
The "Noble gas electron configuration," or the condensed electron configuration, for F is [He] 2s2 3p5.
The noble gas configuration of oxygen (O) is [He] 2s^2 2p^4, where [He] represents the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium.
Only group 18 elements have noble gas configuration. All other elements lack a noble gas electronic configuration.
The element with the noble-gas configuration Ne 3s2 is sodium (Na). Sodium has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1, but when it loses one electron, it attains the stable electron configuration of neon by having 2 electrons in the 3s orbital.
No, chlorine (Cl) does not have a noble gas electronic configuration. It has the electron configuration [Ne]3s^2 3p^5, which is one electron away from achieving a stable, noble gas configuration like argon (Ar).
The electronic configuration of Ga is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23104p1 Expressed as a noble gas configuration this is [Ar] 4s2, 3d10, 4p1
