The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given ions has the same electronic configuration as an inert gas, we need to analyze the electronic configurations of each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ground State Configuration of Each Element:** - **Silver (Ag)**: The ground state configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s1. - **Copper (Cu)**: The ground state configuration is [Ar] 3d10 4s1. - **Lead (Pb)**: The ground state configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2. - **Titanium (Ti)**: The ground state configuration is [Ar] 3d2 4s2. 2. **Determine the Configuration of Each Ion:** - **Ag³⁺**: Loses 3 electrons. Configuration becomes [Kr] 4d8 (not an inert gas configuration). - **Cu²⁺**: Loses 2 electrons. Configuration becomes [Ar] 3d9 (not an inert gas configuration). - **Pb⁴⁺**: Loses 4 electrons. Configuration becomes [Xe] 4f14 5d10 (not an inert gas configuration). - **Ti⁴⁺**: Loses 4 electrons. Configuration becomes [Ar] (which is the configuration of the inert gas Argon). 3. **Compare Each Configuration with Inert Gases:** - **Ag³⁺**: [Kr] 4d8 (not an inert gas). - **Cu²⁺**: [Ar] 3d9 (not an inert gas). - **Pb⁴⁺**: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 (not an inert gas). - **Ti⁴⁺**: [Ar] (this is the configuration of the inert gas Argon). 4. **Conclusion:** - The ion that has the same electronic configuration as an inert gas is **Titanium 4+ (Ti⁴⁺)**, which has the configuration of Argon. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Titanium 4+ (Ti⁴⁺)**.

To determine which of the given ions has the same electronic configuration as an inert gas, we need to analyze the electronic configurations of each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ground State Configuration of Each Element:** - **Silver (Ag)**: The ground state configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s1. - **Copper (Cu)**: The ground state configuration is [Ar] 3d10 4s1. - **Lead (Pb)**: The ground state configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2. ...
