Noble Gas Electron Configurations for Ions: Na+, H-, O2-

AI Thread Summary
Na+, H-, and O2- all have electron configurations that match those of noble gases. Na+ and O2- both achieve the electron configuration of Neon, while H- matches that of Helium. The responses confirm the accuracy of this assessment. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding electron configurations in relation to noble gases. Overall, the conclusions drawn about these ions are correct.

Homework Statement



state whether or not these ions have electron configurations of a noble gas: Na+, H-,O2-

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I said yes to all three. Because Na+ and O2- has electron configuration of Neon. H- has electron configuration of Helium.
If I'm wrong, please correct me and explain to me about it. Thank you so much for yall time!

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...

Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
