Since the barium ion will be isoelectronic to the nearest noble gas, which is xenon, the electronic configuration for Ba2+ is: [Xe]
Explanation:
No of molecules=0.500×6.023×10²³=3.011×10²³ molecules
Atomic reaction is nothing but the reaction of one atom with the other atom to form the new compound.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The atom is considered as the ultimate basic particle of the matter.
- This atom comprise of electron neutrons and protons.
- Generally in the atomic reaction, there will be loss or gain of the electron to or from the substance with which the reaction takes place.
- In default, all atoms wanted to attain the noble gas configuration which is stable in nature. These atoms from the ionic or covalent bond by sharing the electron.

Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
