Why do the following only have one possible charge: Ag+ , Cd2+ and Zn2+?
-The "d" orbital of both zinc and cadmium are full and therefore very stable so the only electrons it will lose are the two "s" electrons -The "d" orbital is also full with silver as it has largely taken an electron from it's own "s" orbital to make stabilize the "d" orbital. Therefore, it only has 1 electron left to lose.
