Question

In the atom of an element $X, 6$ electrons are present in the outermost shell. If it acquires noble gas configuration by accepting requisite number of electrons, then what would be the charge on the ion so formed?

✓

Answer

Since $6$ electrons are already present in the outermost shell of the atom, this element requires two more electrons in order to acquire the noble gas configuration. When the atom accepts $2$ more electrons, the charge on the ion formed would be $-2$.
