Question

When nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, sodium, magnesium and aluminum ionize, they all will have:
a. different electron configuration from each other.
b. an unchanged electron configuration.
c. the same charge.
d. the same electron configuration (isoelectronic) as neon.
[Definition: The word isoelectronic means that when you write out the electron configuration they are the same. An exam would be He and Li whereby both of them have 2 electrons and therefore they are both are 1s2 in their electron configurations.]

Answer 1

Answer:

the same electron configuration (isoelectronic) as neon.

Explanation:

The electron configuration refers to the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals. Electronic configuration is also known as an electronic structure.

When nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, sodium, magnesium and aluminum ionize, they all will have the same electron configuration (isoelectronic) as neon.
