Which of the following ions possess a noble gas electron configuration? Which ions are isoelectronic?
(a) K+
(b) He+
(c) H-
(d) O-
(e) F-
(f) Ca2+
Sample Solution (a) Potassium has atomic number 19, and so a potassium atom has 19 electrons. The ion K+, therefore, has 18 electrons, the same as the noble gas argon. The electron configurations of both K+ and Ar are 1s22s22p63s23p6. K+ and Ar are isoelectronic.
