Question
Chapter 2, Problem 117CWP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The most stable ion for the given atoms is to be identified and the gain or loss of electrons leading to its formation is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Atoms lose or gain electrons in order to achieve the most stable electronic configuration nearest inert gas configuration or a completely filled configuration). The ion formed by the loss of electrons is known as a cation while the one formed by the gain of electrons is known as an anion.
To determine the most stable cation or anion formed by the given atoms.

Students have asked these similar questions
A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there
are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from
the arrow.
• Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area.
• If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts,
inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow.
• You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown.
