Whether i− ion is stable or not should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Octet rule: generally all atoms will lose, gain or share electrons to attain 8 valence electrons; the electronic configuration of the nearest noble element.
Duet rule: generally some atoms like hydrogen, lithium, beryllium will lose, gain or share electrons to attain 2 valence electrons; the electronic configuration of the nearest noble element like helium.
Answer to Problem 7P
i− ion is stable.
Explanation of Solution
The atomic number or number of electrons of i is 53, the electronic configuration of i is as follows:
i−53:1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s22p5
When i will gain 1 electron; the electronic configuration of its ion become as the nearest noble element Xeon as follows:
i−−54:1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s22p5[Xe]
The electronic configuration of the nearest noble element like helium, neon argon is the stable configuration hence the i− ion is stable.
