Question

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

Accepted Answer

In this atom 6 electrons are already present in its outermost orbitals In order to attain a noble gas the configuration element has to accept twoelectron hence its charge is 2
