Given what you now know, what information and/or problem solving approach is most likely to produce the correct answer?

What will be an ideal response?


Adding a third shell to Neon will add 8 more electrons, 2 electrons in an ā€œsā€ orbital and 6 electrons in
a ā€œpā€ orbital.
Following the same numbering as with Neon this would add 2s22p6
.
The complete electron configuration for Argon will be 1s22s22p63s23p6
