Some patterns of electron configuration are listed below. In each case, [G] stands for a noble-gas core and n, m, or o stand for integer numbers like 1, 2, 3 and so on. Note: assume G is lighter than Rn. Think about the chemical elements made of atoms with an electron configuration that matches each pattern. In what block or blocks of the Periodic Table would these elements lie? Would they be metals, nonmetals, metalloids, some of each? Use your answers to these questions to complete the table. location of elements electron configuration (check all that apply) of atoms blocks metals or nonmetals? metals [G]ns' nonmetals d. f metalloids O metals nonmetals f metalloids O metals [G]ns°os"md"np" nonmetals ng lo d. f O metalloids

Explain briefly why each of the following is not a possible set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom. (a) n = 2, = 2, m = 0 (b) n = 3, = 0, m = -2 (c) n = 6, = 0, m = 1
6.100 Some spacecraft use ion propulsion engines. These engines create thrust by ionizing atoms and then accelerating and expelling them. According to Newton's laws, this leads to thrust in the opposite direction. Minimizing mass is always important for space applications. Discuss what periodic trends you would need to consider for choosing a material to ionize for engineering designs with this application.
