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

Answered by admin @ 20/08/2021

The ion formed will be an anion as it has a negative charge on it.

Given:

Number of electrons in element X = 6

To find:

Nature of ion formed = ?

Explanation:

As the number of electrons present in element X is 6, to attain noble gas configuration it requires 2 more electrons.
When it gains two electrons, element X gets converted into ion as the number of electrons is increased.
As it has gained 2 electrons, the ion will be $X^{2-}$ . Thus the charge on the so formed ion is inferred as -2.
