i think it is an atom
What else can I help you with?
How many electrons does an atom of Argon have?
Argon has 18 electrons.
What is the mass number of the atom of argon?
The mass number of an atom of argon is 40. This number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the argon atom.
Which noble gas atom has the same number electrons as a sulfide ion?
Krypton (Kr) has the same number of electrons as a sulfide ion. Both have 36 electrons.
Can argon be an ion?
Yes, argon can be an ion in specific conditions. Argon can become a cation (positively charged ion) by losing an electron or an anion (negatively charged ion) by gaining an electron. However, argon is typically stable and does not readily form ions under normal circumstances.
What atom has 10 electrons and 2 charge?
The oxygen 2- ion. The oxygen 2- ion gains two electrons and acts like neon.
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of what element?
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of the element argon (Ar).
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of?
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of an element in Period 3 of the periodic table, as both consist of 17 electrons.
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.
What element has eighteen electrons?
As a neutral atom (When it is not an ion) the element argon has eighteen electrons.
What particle has the same electron configuration as a potassium ion?
Argon has the same electron configuration as a potassium ion, as both species have 18 electrons with the electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p⁶.
Why doesn't chlorine become an argon atom when it ends up with a noble gas electron configuration?
Because the number of protons in chlorine atom and chloride ion are the same (17 protons). The element argon has 18 protons.
What is Argon Ionization Energy?
Argon ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a neutral argon atom to produce a positively charged ion. In the case of argon, this energy is relatively high due to its stable electron configuration.
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of -?
A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of chlorine (Cl). The neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, and when it gains one electron to form the chloride ion, it also has 17 electrons but with a 1- charge.
How many electrons does an atom of Argon have?
Argon has 18 electrons.
When a calcium atom loses its valence electrons the ion formed has an electron configuration that is the same as an atom of?
Argon. Calcium has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2, and when it loses its valence electrons (the outermost 4s2 electrons) it has a configuration identical to argon. If you don't know about sublevels, then disregard that. Calcium has a configuration of 2-8-8-2, and when it loses its 2 valence electrons, it has a configuration identical to argon in the ground state. Hope that cleared it up
Is the electron arrangement in an ion similar to neon or to argon?
Argon
Which atom is larger out of helium and argon?
argon
