Question

An element loses or gains the electron to attain which one of the electronic configurations?

  1. Boron family configuration
  2. Carbon family configuration
  3. Inert gas configuration
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

An element loses or gains the electron to attain an inert gas configuration.

The correct answer is: Inert gas configuration


    • An atom gains or loses electrons and becomes charged
    • The inert gas state is acquired when atoms gain or lose electrons
    • The electronic configuration of inert gas is n s 2, n p 6.
