The atoms gain or lose electron/s to get the nearest noble gas's electronic configuration.
(b)
Interpretation:
Noble gas with the same electronic configuration as
Concept Introduction:
The number of electrons present in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number of the atom. When the number of electrons increases or decreases from the atomic number, ions are formed. Cation is a positively charged ion formed by losing electron/s and anion is a negatively charged ion formed by gaining electron/s. The atoms gain or lose electron/s to get the nearest noble gas electronic configuration.
