I- ion (iodine ion and not iodine) and xenon will have the same number of electrons (54 electrons)
5p
Iodine typically gains an electron to form a -1 ion.
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
An ion that has more electrons than protons has a negative charge.
The net charge is -1 (minus 1).
Iodine is a non metal element. There are 53 electrons in a single atom. There are 7 valence electrons. The iodide ion I- has 54 electrons.
I- ion (iodine ion and not iodine) and xenon will have the same number of electrons (54 electrons)
iodine has 7 electrons in the valence shell. and needs one more electron to attain stable noble gas configuration. So it gains one electron and forms iodide ion with charge of -1.
Iodine atom has 7 valence electrons, whereas Iodide ion has 8 valence electrons.

it gains one electrons to form I- ion
Iodine typically gains an electron to form a -1 ion.
As an iodine atom has 53 electrons, an iodide ion has 54 electrons.
The charge on a magnesium ion with 10 electrons (Mg2+) is +2.
The number of electrons are required to predict the charge of the ion.
