How many electrons does group 6A need to gain to become a noble gas?
They should gain 2 electrons to attain noble gas electronic configuration. (it doesn't become a noble gas as the number of protons are not same)
What is the most stable cation in chemistry?
The most stable cation in chemistry is the noble gas cation, which is formed when a noble gas atom loses an electron to become positively charged.
Is the argon noble gas?
Yes, argon is a noble gas. It is a colorless, odorless, and non-reactive gas that is part of the noble gas group on the periodic table.
What does not have a noble gas configuration Na Rb O2 Br Ca Al3 S2?
Na, Rb, Al3+, and S2- do not have a noble gas configuration as they do not have the complete outer shell of electrons like a noble gas. O2, Br, Ca, and O2- have noble gas configurations as they either have a complete outer shell of electrons or have gained/lost electrons to achieve a stable noble gas configuration.
Is xenon a alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or halogen or noble gas?
A noble gas.
How many electrons does group 6A need to gain to become a noble gas?
They should gain 2 electrons to attain noble gas electronic configuration. (it doesn't become a noble gas as the number of protons are not same)
Is S a noble gas?
no S is not a noble gas inorder to become a noble gas u need to have a completely filled outermost shell
What causes a compound to be formed from elements?
Every element that isn't a noble gas, wants to become isoelectronic or have the same number of electrons as its nearest noble gas. This is because noble gases are very stable, while other elements aren't. Forming compounds allows elements to gain or lose electrons, which allows them to become like their nearest noble gas.
What is the formula of the ion formed when potassium achieves noble-gas?
Potassium has one valence electron that it would lose to become octet happy, or like a noble gas..therefore K(+1 charge)
How many electrons does I have to gain to become noble gas?
It has 7 valence electrons, so needs 1 more to become noble.
How could strontium become a noble gas?
Strontium can have a full electron shell noble gas state if it loses two of it's electrons.
How many electrons does sodium need to lose to become a noble gas element?
Sodium would need to lose one electron in order to obtain a full and stable outer shell, however it would be an ion with a positive charge
How many electrons does it take to fill the outer shell to become like a noble gas?
For most elements, a complete outer shell, like that of a noble gas, has eight electrons. There are exceptions. Helium, which is the most noble of the noble gases, has only two electrons in its outer shell. A few other light elements only need two (and hydrogen can also exist with no electrons at all, in the form of a naked proton, which is also a form of completion for the outer shell).
What is important about the electron configuration of the noble gases?
By acquiring noble gas configuration elements become stable .
Will phosphorus become a noble gas if it capture three more electrons?
Yes it will as P-3 ion will have the same electron configuration of the noble gas, argon.
Is Ni2 plus a noble gas configuration?
No, Ni2+ does not have a noble gas configuration. A noble gas configuration is attained when an atom has a full valence shell of electrons, like the noble gases in Group 18 of the periodic table. Ni2+ has lost electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration but does not have a full valence shell like a noble gas.
How many electrons must be gained or lost for Mg to attain a noble gas?
It should loose 2 electrons to become a noble gas.
