[Xe]

Normally the electronic configuration for Barium would be [Xe] 6s2, but since you want it for Ba2+, you're missing two electrons. You get rid of the 6s2 and get [Xe].

How many electrons must a barium atom lose to form an ion with noble-gas configuration?

Two electrons are donated by Barium to an oxidant (nonmetal, eg. O2) by which barium gets oxidised.Ba --> Ba2+ + 2e-This is because Ba is in group 2 of the periodic system, belonging to the 'earth alkali' metals and so it has 2 electrons (2e-) in its valency (or outer) shell (2,8,18,18,8,2). Hence Ba2+ configuration is (2,8,18,18,8,-), with an empty (-) 6th shell (the 'P' shell) like Xenon.


What is the electron configuration for Barium plus 2?

The electron configuration for neutral Barium is [Xe] 6s2. Barium plus 2 means it has lost 2 electrons, so the electron configuration for Barium plus 2 would be [Xe].


How many electrons does barium have to give up in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?

Barium has 2 electrons in its outer shell. In order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration it needs to lose these 2 electrons. This will leave it with the same electron configuration as Xenon, a noble gas.


What noble gas has the same electron configuration as Ba?

There is no noble gas with the same electronic configuration as the element barium (Ba). But Ba2+ ion and the noble gas xenon (Xe) will have the same number of electrons (54 electrons each).
