Question

In the atom of an element x , 6 electrons are present in the outermost shell. If it acquires a noble gas configuration by accepting the requisite number of electrons , then what would be the charge on the ion so formed?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi mate !!!

According to octate rule :-

an element which have 8 electrons in its balance till then it is in most stable form .

=================================

an atom have 6 electron so it requires 2 electron to full fill it's octate .

so the charge come on atom X is -2 because atom need to complete it's octate .

hope it help you !!!!

thanks !!
