ANSWER

Sr2+, Se2-, Br-

Step-by-step explanation

The first ion is a strontium ion

The atomic number of strontium is 38, this implies that the number of electrons is 38

Sr2+ means strontium has loses two electrons in order to attain it octet configuration. Sr2+ has the configuration of krypton and krypton is a noble gas

Ti2+

Titanium has an atomic number of 22, this implies that the number of electrons is 22.

Ti2+ means titanium has loses two electrons. When it loses two electrons, it will attain the configuration of calcium. Calcium is a group 2 metal and it is not a noble gas.

Se2-

Selenium has an atomic number of 34, this implies that the number of electrons is 34

Se2- means selenium has gained two electrons. When it gained two electrons, the number of electrons become 36. Se2- has the configuration of krypton.

Ni2+ has the configuration of zinc

Br- has the configuration of Krypton

Mn3+ has the configuration of titanium

Hence, the ions with noble gas configuration are

Sr2+, Se2-, Br-
