A. An atom has the electron configuration 1s22s22p3how many valence electrons?

B. Write electron configurations for the following ions, anddetermine which have noble-gas configurations. (Type your answerusing the format [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p2 for[Ar]4s23d104p2. If theconfiguration is a noble gas, enter the noble gas in brackets, forexample [Ne] for F -.) Here are a few examples
Se2- = [Kr]
Sc3+ = [Ar]
Tl+ = [Xe]6s24f145d10

(a) O2-


(b) Br -


(c) In2+

Explanation / Answer

A) 5 valence electrons B) O2- = [Ne] Br- = [Kr] In2+ = [Kr]5s14d10
