(a)
Interpretation:
To write the general valence configuration of the nitrogen, Z=7.
Concept Introduction:
When the electrons are arranged in the increasing order of energy in the orbitals of an atom is known as electronic configuration of that atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
To write the general valence configuration of the francium, Z=87.
Concept Introduction:
When the electrons are arranged in the increasing order of energy in the orbitals of an atom is known as electronic configuration of that atom. Atomic number of an atom in its neutral state is equal to the number of electrons which is unique for every element. On the basis of group of the element, one can identify the general valence configuration.

- Answer the questions below concerning ground state electron configurations. (a) What element has the electron configuration [Ar]3d64s2? (b) What element has a 2+ ion with the configuration [Ar]3d5? Is the ion paramagnetic or diamagnetic? (c) Mow many unpaired electrons are in a Ni2+ ion? (d) The configuration for an element is given here. What is the identity of the element? Is a sample of the element paramagnetic or diamagnetic? How many unpaired electrons does a 3 ion of this element have? (e) What element has the following electron configuration? Write a complete set of quantum numbers for electrons 1-3.arrow_forwardValence electrons are those electrons in the outermost principal quantum level (highest n level) of an atom in its ground state. Groups lA to 8A have from 1 to 8 valence electrons. For each group of the representative elements (1A-8A). give the number of valence electrons, the general valence electron configuration, a sample element in that group, and the specific valence electron configuration for that element.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions about first ionization energies. (a) Generally ionization energies increase on proceeding across a period, but this is not true for magnesium (738 kJ/mol) and aluminium (578 kJ/mol). Explain this observation. (b) Explain why the ionization energy of phosphorus (1012 kJ/mol) is greater than that of sulphur (1000 kJ/mol) when the general trend in ionization energies in a period would predict the opposite.arrow_forward
