Na+ and neon are isoelectronic.
Argon has the same electron configuration as a sodium ion. Sodium ion has lost 1 electron from its outer shell, making its electronic configuration 2, 8. Argon's electronic configuration is also 2, 8 in its outer shell.
Sodium is more reactive than argon. This is because sodium is a metal that readily loses an electron to form a positive ion, while argon is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it chemically inert.
It doesn't become an argon atom because it (Cl-) still has 17 protons, and an argon atom has to have 18 protons.
The noble gas configuration for bromine is [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5. This configuration represents the electron arrangement of bromine with a filled inner electron shell similar to that of the noble gas argon.
Atoms of Cl must gain one electron to form a noble gas arrangement, as it needs a full outer shell with eight electrons to achieve stability, similar to the nearest noble gas, argon.
Argon
Na+ and neon are isoelectronic.
The electron arrangement in an ion of chlorine will be similar to argon because both chlorine (Cl) and argon (Ar) are in the same period (row) of the periodic table. Neon (Ne) is in a different period and has a different electron arrangement.
Argon has the same electron arrangement as other noble gases such as Neon and Helium. Chlorine has the same electron arrangement as other halogens such as Fluorine and Bromine. Sulfur has the same electron arrangement as other chalcogens such as Oxygen and Selenium. Potassium has the same electron arrangement as other alkali metals such as Sodium and Lithium.
Argon has the same electron configuration as a sodium ion. Sodium ion has lost 1 electron from its outer shell, making its electronic configuration 2, 8. Argon's electronic configuration is also 2, 8 in its outer shell.
Sodium is more reactive than argon. This is because sodium is a metal that readily loses an electron to form a positive ion, while argon is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it chemically inert.
Argon has an electron arrangement of 2-8-8, with 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 in the second energy level, and 8 in the third energy level. This configuration gives argon a full outermost shell, making it stable and unreactive.
Both sodium and argon atoms have the same number of electrons in their outer shell (valence shell) which is 8. However, sodium has an additional electron in the shell before the outer shell whereas argon does not. Both atoms are stable due to their electron configuration.
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
The electron configuration of the sodium ion (Na+) becomes similar to that of neon (Ne), while the electron configuration of the fluoride ion (F-) becomes similar to that of a noble gas like argon (Ar). This is achieved through the transfer of one electron from sodium to fluorine during the formation of NaF.
It doesn't become an argon atom because it (Cl-) still has 17 protons, and an argon atom has to have 18 protons.
Yes, when a sodium atom reacts with a chlorine atom to form a compound (sodium chloride), it does not produce neon or argon. Neon and argon are noble gases with stable electron configurations, while sodium and chlorine react to achieve stable electron configurations by forming an ionic bond in sodium chloride.
