The electron configuration of a neutral Ba atom follows the Aufbau principle, filling orbitals in the order of increasing energy: Ba:&nbsp;[Kr]\u20095s2\u20094d10\u20095p6\u20096s2\\text{Ba: } [\\text{Kr}] \\, 5s^2 \\, 4d^{10} \\, 5p^6 \\, 6s^2Ba:&nbsp;[Kr]5s24d105p66s2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This notation means that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ba has the electron configuration of Krypton (Kr) plus two additional electrons in the 5s orbital, 10 electrons in the 4d orbital, 6 electrons in the 5p orbital, and 2 electrons in the 6s orbital.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Remove electrons for Ba2+\\text{Ba}^{2+}Ba2+<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ba2+\\text{Ba}^{2+}Ba2+ ion has a 2+ charge, meaning it has lost two electrons. These two electrons are removed from the outermost shell, which is the 6s orbital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, after removing the two electrons, the electron configuration for Ba2+\\text{Ba}^{2+}Ba2+ is: Ba2+:[Kr]\u20094d10\u20095p6\\text{Ba}^{2+}: [\\text{Kr}] \\, 4d^{10} \\, 5p^6Ba2+:[Kr]4d105p6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The electron configuration for Ba2+\\text{Ba}^{2+}Ba2+ is the same as the electron configuration for Krypton (Kr) plus the full 4d and 5p orbitals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The removal of electrons occurs from the highest energy level, which is the 6s orbital in this case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The final configuration shows that the Ba2+\\text{Ba}^{2+}Ba2+ ion has a stable noble gas core configuration, similar to Krypton (Kr), but with additional filled 4d and 5p orbitals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This configuration is more stable for the ion, as removing electrons reduces electron-electron repulsion and leads to a stable configuration with a filled outer shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-422.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-422.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-422-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-422-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner5-422-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>write the complete ground-state electron configuration for barium cation, Ba2+. show work please, thanks The Correct Answer and Explanation is: To determine the ground-state electron configuration for the barium cation, Ba2+\\text{Ba}^{2+}Ba2+, we need to follow these steps: Step 1: Find the electron configuration of neutral Ba Barium (Ba) has an atomic number of 56, meaning [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-quiz-questions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43116"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43122,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43116\/revisions\/43122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
