which of the following ions have a complete valence-shell octet?
B+, I-, Ca2+, or Pb2+
B3+
Electronic configuration = [He]
Number of valence electrons = 0
B3+has a complete valence-shell octet
I-
Electronic configuration = [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p6
Number of valence electrons = 8
I- has a complete valence-shell octet
Ca2+
Electronic configuration = [Ar]
Number of valence electrons = 0
Ca2+ has a complete valence-shell octet
Pb2+
Electronic configuration = [Xe] 4f14 5d10 5s2
Number of valence electrons = 2
Pb2+ does not possess a complete valence-shell octet
Answer: B3+, I- , Ca2+
