    A pseudo-noble-gas configuration has the form s2 p6 d10. It has 18 electrons in the outer energy level and is a relatively stable configuration. Examples of ions with this configuration are Ag+, Cu+, Cd2+, and Hg2+. If compound is here Cucl then cation =Cu+ and has pseudo noble gas configuration
