Question
  • Write the electron configurations of magnesium (z=12) and fluoride (z=9). Explain what electrons must be gained or lost from the atoms to form an electron configuration of a filled shell. Write the electron configuration of each ion too. Which noble gases have those electron configurations?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Magnesium (z=12) electron configuration will be [Mg]= 1s22s22p63s2

 Two electrons from 3s orbital must be a loss, to form an electron configuration of a filled shell.

After 2 electrons loss  from 3s orbital, electron configuration will be

[Mg +2 ]   =   1s22s22p6  (Neon noble gas  electron configurations) 

[Ne] = 1s22s22p6
