Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the monoatomic ion with a charge of 1 that has an electronic configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p6 is a cation or anion is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The arrangement of electrons in the energy sublevels is explained by the electron configuration of an atom. The electron configuration of an atom can be written according to the arrangement of energy levels as shown below.

1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d<5p<6s

In the modern periodic table, the horizontal rows are known as periods, whereas vertical columns are known as groups. There are 7 periods and 18 groups in a modern periodic table.

Answer to Problem 2E

The monoatomic ion with a charge of 1 that has an electronic configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p6 is an anion.

Explanation of Solution

The monoatomic ion with a charge of 1 has an electronic configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p6. The electronic configuration indicates chlorine, Cl element. Here, Cl gains 1 electron to form the resulting anion, Cl.

Conclusion

The monoatomic ion with a charge of 1 that has an electronic configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p6 is an anion.

Answer to Problem 2E

The noble gas with which the monoatomic ion is isolectronic is argon, Ar.

Explanation of Solution

The electronic configuration of Cl is 1s22s22p63s23p5. It can gain 1 electron in the outermost shell. The resulting anion, Cl is isoelectronic with argon, Ar.

The electronic configuration of Cl is 1s22s22p63s23p6.

The electronic configuration of Ar is 1s22s22p63s23p6.

Conclusion

The noble gas with which the monoatomic ion is isolectronic is argon, Ar.
