Interpretation:
The pseudo noble gas configuration is to be defined. Also, an example of ion from group 3A(13) is to be given.
Concept introduction:
The noble gas configuration refers to the stable electronic configuration of the elements with their complete octet. The elements with the noble gas configuration have no or very less tendency to react with the other species and therefore these are extremely stable. This is also used to write the condensed electronic configuration of the elements.
Pseudo means false thus pseudo noble gas configuration means those elements that are not noble elements but have a outer noble gas configuration. The
The stability of a pseudo noble gas configuration is comparable to that of the noble gas configuration.
