I believe ions are formed when a metal(s)and a non metal(s) share the electrons on their outer energy level so that together they have full outer energy levels. (You might want to check that though.)
Noble gases are the gases in the last column of the periodic table: Group 8 aka Group 0. These are the gases which already have full outer energy levels (meaning the hae as many electrons as they can fit in their outer energy level). They are called 'noble' because they don't need to react with other elements in order to gain a full energy level (rather like the nobility who don't like mixing!).

What will be the charge for N when it becomes ions?
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. So it gains 3 electrons to get the noble gas configuration. Therefor N make ions with a charge of -3.
What are Ions that are deficient in electrons?
Ions that are deficient in electrons are
Why does argon not form ions?
Atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration of electrons, which is stable. Argon already has such a configuration and is very stable as it is. Any gain or loss of electrons would make it less stable.
What will be the charge for cl when it becomes ions?
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. So it gains an electron to get noble gas configuration. Therefor Cl makes ions with a charge of -1.
What is the formula of the ions formed when sulphur gain or lose valence electrons and attain a noble gas configuration?
This is S(2-).
How does electric current travel through gas?
Through ions or electrons.
What ions have the same number of electrons as a noble gas out of Aluminum oxygen bromine and nitrogen?
Actually all the ions will have. Al3+, O2- and N3- ions will have the same number of electrons as neon (10 electrons), whereas Br- ion will have the same number of electrons as krypton (36 electrons)
How many ions in H2S gas?
None.H2S is a covalent compound, there are no ions as the electrons are shared between the hydrogen and sulfur.
Does the sun have electrons in it?
yes obviously.sun consist with hydrozen, helium and the other gas and their ions.
What does the statement 'that an atom or an ions is isoelectronic with a noble gas mean?
it means that the total number of electrons in the ions and the noble gases are the same.
What will be the charge for N when it becomes ions?
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. So it gains 3 electrons to get the noble gas configuration. Therefor N make ions with a charge of -3.
What are Ions that are deficient in electrons?
Ions that are deficient in electrons are
When water is broken down what happens to the oxygen and hydrogen atoms?
Water (H20) is made up of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). When water is broken down (e.g. through electrolysis), OH- ions lose electrons to form oxygen gas and water. 4OH- --> 2H2O + O2 + 4e. The H+ ions on the other hand gain electrons to form hydrogen gas. 2H+ + 2e --> H2 Water (H20) is made up of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).

How element form ions that have a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Ions are formed when elements gain or lose electrons.
Which noble gas has the same number of electrons as an ion of barium?
There is no such noble gas with the same electron configuration as helium ion. Helium is the first noble gas, is stable and does not form ions. There can be, however, other ions such as H- or Li+ that will have the same number of electrons as element helium.
How can a gas change to a plasma?
gas can change to plasma when high energy state is no longer maintained and ions combine either with other ions or whit electrons to form stable molecules.
Why does argon not form ions?
Atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration of electrons, which is stable. Argon already has such a configuration and is very stable as it is. Any gain or loss of electrons would make it less stable.
