Correct answer: 2

  1. Noble gas configuration means the ion must have the same electron configuration as a noble gas:

    Noble gases and their electron counts are: 2,10,18,36,54,862, 10, 18, 36, 54, 862,10,18,36,54,86 corresponding to He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn.

  2. Find electrons in each ion by subtracting the positive charge from atomic number.

    (i) Sr2+\mathrm{Sr}^{2+}Sr2+, Z=38Z=38Z=38 38−2=3638-2=3638−2=36 36=Kr configuration36 = \text{Kr configuration}36=Kr configuration So, Sr2+\mathrm{Sr}^{2+}Sr2+ has noble gas configuration.

    (ii) Cs+\mathrm{Cs}^{+}Cs+, Z=55Z=55Z=55 55−1=5455-1=5455−1=54 54=Xe configuration54 = \text{Xe configuration}54=Xe configuration So, Cs+\mathrm{Cs}^{+}Cs+ has noble gas configuration.

    (iii) La2+\mathrm{La}^{2+}La2+, Z=57Z=57Z=57 57−2=5557-2=5557−2=55 55≠noble gas electron count55 \neq \text{noble gas electron count}55=noble gas electron count So, La2+\mathrm{La}^{2+}La2+ does not have noble gas configuration.

    (iv) Pb2+\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}Pb2+, Z=82Z=82Z=82 82−2=8082-2=8082−2=80 80≠noble gas electron count80 \neq \text{noble gas electron count}80=noble gas electron count So, Pb2+\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}Pb2+ does not have noble gas configuration.

    (v) Yb2+\mathrm{Yb}^{2+}Yb2+, Z=70Z=70Z=70 70−2=6870-2=6870−2=68 68≠noble gas electron count68 \neq \text{noble gas electron count}68=noble gas electron count So, Yb2+\mathrm{Yb}^{2+}Yb2+ does not have noble gas configuration.

    (vi) Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}Fe2+, Z=26Z=26Z=26 26−2=2426-2=2426−2=24 24≠noble gas electron count24 \neq \text{noble gas electron count}24=noble gas electron count So, Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}Fe2+ does not have noble gas configuration.

  3. Count the ions with noble gas configuration

    They are: Sr2+, Cs+\mathrm{Sr}^{2+},\ \mathrm{Cs}^{+}Sr2+, Cs+

    Total number: 222

  4. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer = 222.

    Our derived answer also = 222, so they agree.
