Question

When ions form they have the electron configuration of: A) Alkali Metals

B) Alkaline Earth Metal C) Halogens D) Noble Gas

Answer 1

The answerrrrrr isssss B I think

Answer 2

Alkali metals have a general outermost electronic configuration of
`ns^(1)`

Alkali earth metals have a general outermost electronic configuration of
`ns^(2)`

The +1 ion of the alkali metals has a stable octet configuration of the nearest noble gas as the outermost ns electron is lost.

The +2 ion of the alkaline earth metals has a stable configuration of the nearest noble gas as the two electrons in the outermost ns shell are lost.
