Is sodium or argon more reactive and why?
Argon has completely filled valence orbitals and hence is unreactive. Sodium has one valence electron. If sodium loses this electron it will attain the stable electron configuration of the nearest noble gas (argon) and hence is reactive.
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 elements in the periodic table don't bond?
Those with full electron "shells" which means that electron pairing is complete and doesn't need a second bonding arrangement. Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon.
Ions of calcium fluorine magnesium and iodine have electron configurations that are similar to which noble gases?
Ca2+ is isoelectronic with the noble gas, Argon. F-, Mg2+ are isoelectronic with the noble gas, Neon. I- is isoelectronic with the noble gas, Xenon
How many electrons does sodium need to achieve a noble gas configuration?
Sodium has 11 electrons, and one valence electron To achieve noble gas configurations, it would have to gain 7 electrons, for a total of 18 like Argon has. But this gain is impossible. So Sodium loses one electron to look like Neon which has 10.
Is the electron arrangement in an ion similar to neon or to argon?
Argon
Is the electron arrangement in an ion of chlorine similar to neon or argon?
Argon
Is the electron arrangement in a ion similar to neon or argon?
Na+ and neon are isoelectronic.
Is sodium or argon more reactive and why?
Argon has completely filled valence orbitals and hence is unreactive. Sodium has one valence electron. If sodium loses this electron it will attain the stable electron configuration of the nearest noble gas (argon) and hence is reactive.
Why is the the electron arrangement argon nonreactive?
Its valence shell is full.
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.
Which elements have the same electron arrangement as Argon Chlorine Sulfur or Potassium?
No element has the exact same election arrangement as another element. However ion can have the same election arrangement as another element. For example Chloride (Cl-) has the same configuration as Argon, and Potassium (I) (K+) also has the same configuration as argon.
What is the formula for argon and sodium?
Argon is ar and sodium is na.
Which of these can become stable by losing 1 electron calcium argon sodium nitrogen oxygen chlorine?
Sodium can become stable by losing 1 electron, forming a sodium ion with a 1+ charge, with the formula Na+. By losing its single valence electron, the resulting sodium ion achieves the noble gas configuration of neon, so that it has an octet (8) of valence electrons.
What is the chemical formula for sodium argon?
Sodium has the synbol Na and argon Ar.
What is the most reactive element out of sodium neon argon and krypton?
Sodium. Neon, Argon, and Krypton are all inert gases. They don't react with pretty much anything. However, if you put a piece of sodium metal in water, it practically explodes, that's how reactive it is. Mainly because all it has in it's outermost electron shell is one electron, and so it wants to lose that one in order to be stable.
What elements in the periodic table don't bond?
Those with full electron "shells" which means that electron pairing is complete and doesn't need a second bonding arrangement. Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon.
