Question

For the most common ion formed by each of the following atoms, write the electron configuration (in noble gas notation) and predict the charge. (Hint: If more than one ion is likely, use the charge that is the least positive or most negative charge. For the "most common ion", answer using the format +1 and -2.) (a) P: Electron configuration of the most common ion - [Ne] 3s2 3p6, Charge of the most common ion - -3 (b) Sn: Electron configuration of the most common ion - [Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p2, Charge of the most common ion - +2 (c) Al: Electron configuration of the most common ion - [Ne] 3s2 3p1, Charge of the most common ion - +3 (d) Co: Electron configuration of the most common ion - [Ar] 4s2 3d7, Charge of the most common ion - +2
