Best Answer

atoms in stable compounds almost always have a noble gas electron configuration or when representative metals and nonmetals react, thay transferelectrons in such a way that both th cation and the anion have noble gas electron configuration.

Whats 'electron configuration'?

Electron is a subatomic particle. This is negative elementary electric charge.


Why does Li have a 0 charge?

Lithium does not have a '0' charge. Its electron configuration is 2,1. This means there is one valence electron in its outer shell. Losing this electron will make Lithium have a full shell (2 only) which all atoms try to achieve, therefore Li has a +1 charge because it loses an electron to gain noble gas configuration.


What electron configuration represents an atom having the greatest nuclear charge?

What is the most likely charge on an ion formed by an element with a valence electron configuration of ns 1?

Positive 1 charge


What ions does not have a noble gas electron configuration S-2 Sr 2 I- Cs or Be 3?

Cs does not have a nobel gas electron configuration, as it contains one valence electron in its outermost s orbital. Be3+ also does have a nobel gas electron configuration, as this occurs when Be has a 2+ charge (the typical Be ion is Be2+).


The electron configuration of a fluoride ion F is?

1s2 2s2 2p6 is the electron configuration of the fluoride ion. It has a complete octet and is isoelectronic with neon. Before it becomes an ion, it is 1s2 2s2 2p5 Then it gains an electron and has a negative charge.


What charge does Cs have?

Cs typically has a +1 charge, meaning it loses one electron to achieve a full outer shell configuration.


What is electron configuration of Mg plus?

The electron configuration of magnesium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2. Mg+ has one less electron (electrons have negative charge, so a positive charge is a lack of electrons) so you remove one from the outermost orbital: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1, or simply [Ne] 3s1.


What charge does a bromide ion have?

Br-, like the other halogens F-, Cl-, Br-, I-. They would obtain one electron to have noble gas electron configuration. Therefore, one negative charge.


What is the electron configuration of GE plus 4?

Electron configuration og 32Ge is in short hand:Ge => [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2or complete: 1s2, 2s22p6, 3s2 3p6 3d10, 4s2 4p2
