Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The electronic configuration of given atom and its most stable ion is to be written.
Concept introduction:
The electronic configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom. The atoms lose or gain electrons to acquire noble gas configuration because the ion which achievesthe nearest noble gas configuration is most stable.
