(a)
Interpretation:
The ground state electron configuration of oxygen is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The distribution of the electrons that exists in the atomic orbital of an atom is collectively known as electron configuration. The description of every electron in an orbital is given by the electron configuration of that atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
The orbital diagram of oxygen is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The distribution of the electrons that exists in the atomic orbital of an atom is collectively known as electron configuration. The description of every electron in an orbital is given by the electron configuration of that atom.
The electrons can also be shown in the form of boxes where the boxes represent the subshells and they are placed one over the other in increasing energy. This diagram is known as orbital diagram.
(c)
Interpretation:
The excited state electron configuration of oxygen is to be stated and an explanation corresponding to the same is to be given. The modified orbital diagram is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
The distribution of the electrons that exists in the atomic orbital of an atom is collectively known as electron configuration. The description of every electron in an orbital is given by the electron configuration of that atom.
The electrons that are present in the outermost shell of an atom are known as valence electrons. The outermost shell of an atom is known as valence shell. The valence electrons are more loosely held than the electrons which are closer to the nucleus.
(d)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why white light is not observed when oxygen returns from excited state to ground state is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Electrons get excited from their ground state level to high state level on absorbing energy. When they returning back to their original state, they radiate energy and if this energy falls in visible region, color will be observed.

- Determine whether each statement that follows is true or false: a Electron energies are quantized in excited states but not in the ground state. b Line spectra of the elements are experimental evidence of the quantization of electron energies. c Energy is released as an electron passes from ground state to an excited state. d The energy of an electron may be between two quantized energy levels. e The Bohr model explanation of line spectra is still thought to be correct. f The quantum mechanical model of the atom describes orbitals in which electrons travel around the nucleus. g Orbitals are regions in which there is a high probability of finding an electron. h All energy sublevels have the same number of orbitals. i The 3p orbitals of an atom are larger than its 2p orbitals but smaller than its 4p orbitals. j At a given sublevel, the maximum number of d electrons is 5. k The halogens are found in Group 7A/17 of the periodic table. l The dot structure of the alkaline earths is X, where X is the symbol of element in the family. m Stable ions formed by alkaline earth metals are isoelectronic with noble gas atoms. n Atomic numbers 23 and 45 both belong to transition elements. o Atomic number 52, 35, and 18 are arranged in order of increasing atomic size. p Atomic number 7, 16, and 35 are all nonmetals.arrow_forwardGiven the valence electron orbital level diagram and the description, identify the element or ion. a.
