The ions of Noble gases, <em>group VIII</em> elements have a full octet configuration on their outermost shell and as such are highly stable.
The periodic table is a systematic arrangement of elements in order of their atomic numbers into a set of 8 columns each called groups and a set of 7 rows each called a period.
Elements are arranged in different groups according to the number of Valence electrons they have.
- For instance, elements in the group I of the periodic table are highly electropositive and as such are highly reactive.
The same is evident in group 7 elements are highly electronegative and have high electron affinity and as such are unstable and reactive.
- However, Noble gases, <em>group VIII</em> elements have a full octet configuration on their outermost shell and as such are highly stable.
Consequently, the <em>Noble gases ion</em> has a stable Valence electron configuration.

The nitrite ion has one less oxygen than the nitrate ion. Nitrate is NO3-1 while the nitrite ion is NO2-.
Answer:
sp³
Explanation:
Number of hybrid orbitals = ( V + S - C + A ) / 2
Where
H is the number of hybrid orbitals
V is the valence electrons of the central atom = 5
S is the number of single valency atoms = 4
C is the number of cations = 1
A is the number of anions = 0
For PCl₄⁺
Applying the values, we get:
H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2
= 4
<u>This corresponds to sp³ hybridization.</u>
