Is the electron arrangement in an ion similar to neon or to argon?

Argon


Is the electron arrangement in an ion of chlorine similar to neon or argon?

The electron arrangement in an ion of chlorine will be similar to argon because both chlorine (Cl) and argon (Ar) are in the same period (row) of the periodic table. Neon (Ne) is in a different period and has a different electron arrangement.


Is the electron arrangement in a ion similar to neon or argon?

Na+ and neon are isoelectronic.


Is argon reactive or nonreactive nonmetal?

Because it is a noble gas, it is no reactive, as all its electron shells are filled.


Which elements have the same electron arrangement as Argon Chlorine Sulfur or Potassium?

No element has the exact same election arrangement as another element. However ion can have the same election arrangement as another element. For example Chloride (Cl-) has the same configuration as Argon, and Potassium (I) (K+) also has the same configuration as argon.


What is the electron arrangement in Argon?

Argon has an electron arrangement of 2-8-8, with 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 in the second energy level, and 8 in the third energy level. This configuration gives argon a full outermost shell, making it stable and unreactive.


How reactive argon is?

Argon is inert and nonreactive because it has a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive with other elements under normal conditions.


Why argon exists as a monotonic atom?

Argon is nonreactive, including with itself.


Why other elements are like neon and argon nonreactive?

Elements like neon and argon are nonreactive because they have stable electron configurations with full outer electron shells. This makes them very unwilling to gain, lose, or share electrons with other atoms, leading to their inert nature.


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 a sodium ion similar to neon or argon?

The electron arrangement in a sodium ion (Na+) is similar to neon, as both have a full outer electron shell. Sodium loses one electron to achieve the stable electron configuration of neon (2,8). Argon has a full outer shell with 8 electrons, making it different from both sodium and neon.


Why are the members of group 18 in the periodic table virtually nonreactive?

The noble gases have a stable electron arrangement and so do not need to react to achieve stability
