For this particular ion, do we use the noble gas Neon or Argon?

Re: Electron configuration with noble gas abbrevation
Im pretty sure you use argon because the extra electron gives it the same electron configuration as argon.

Both abbreviations are correct; though when you do the problem you'll realize that you can't use Argon for all of them.
