The net charge on a sulfide ion (s2-) is -2. explain how this ion obtains its charge

1 answer:

6 0

Sulfur is a group six element in period 3 with atomic number 16 and an electronic configuration of 2:8:6. Therefore, to attain a stable configuration it requires to gain two electrons forming an ion with a charge of -2. The negative charge is due to the gaining of electrons.

Write the symbol for the monatomic ion that has a charge of 1– and the condensed electron configuration [ne]3s23p6.

Pani-rosa [81]

<span>Answer is: the symbol is Cl.
[Ne ] 3s</span>² 3p⁶ is electric configuration of noble gas argon, neon (Ne) has10 electrons plus 6 electrons in 3s and 3p orbitals. Neutral atom of m<span>onatomic ion that has a charge of 1– has one electron less than argon, so that atom (chlorine) has 17 electrons. Charge of 1- means one electron more for ion: 17 + 1 = 18.
