Which ion in the ground state has the same electron configuration as an atom of neon in the ground state?
2 answers:
Answer:
Option 4,
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Determine which option is correct</u>
We know that Ne has 10 electrons therefore we need to find a different ion that has the same amount.
Option 1 → Ca has 20 electrons and with 2+ we would remove 2 of those which would leave us with 18.
Option 2 → Cl has 17 electrons and with a - we would add 1 of those which would leave us with 18.
Option 3 → Li has 3 electrons and with a + we would remove 1 of those which would leave us with 2.
Option 4 → O has 8 electrons and with a 2- we would add 2 of those which would leave us with 10.
Since the only one that matches up in the number of electrons is we can conclude that option 4 is correct.

Aerobic respiration is the reaction of the compound or reactant in presence of oxygen whereas anaerobic respiration indicates the non availability of oxygen.
Aerobic respiration, responsible for the production of ATP slowly. It helps in breaking glucose molecule to , and result in production of 38 ATP.
Whereas, anaerobic respiration break glucose molecule into two molecule of pyruvate. Glycolysis only releases two ATP per glucose. The anaerobic process occurs rapidly such as it lets the tissues and muscles to receive the energy for short durational activity.
This increase in production of energy explains the reason for domination of aerobic organisms on earth which helps in organisms to grow in size with multicellular system and great diversity
