Which of the statements that follow is an accurate representation of the predictions made by the atomic orbital diagram for the element niobium (Z=41)? ooo Niobium will gain 2 electrons to allow the 4d subshell to become exactly half full. This will result in the formation of Nb²-. When niobium ionizes, it will first form Nb²+ and then Nb5+ When niobium ionizes, it will form Nb²+ only Niobium will lose 3 electrons from the 4d subshell and form Nb³+.
