Without referring to your textbook or a periodic table, write the full electron configuration. the orbital box diagram, and the noble gas shorthand configuration for the elements with the following atomic numbers.

msp;  a .  Z  =  19             d .  Z  =  26 b .  Z  =  22             e .  Z  =  3 0 c .  Z  =  14

(a)

Interpretation:

The full electron configuration for the element with given atomic number, the orbital box diagram and the noble gas shorthand configuration ions are 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.

The electron configuration of the given element with Z=19 is 1s22s22p63s23p64s1.

The orbitals in the orbital box diagram are arranged in increasing order of energy shells. The orbital box diagram is,

The electron configuration of the given element can also be written as Ar4s1

(b)

Interpretation:

The full electron configuration for the element with given atomic number, the orbital box diagram and the noble gas shorthand configuration ions are 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 that is moving freely in an orbital is given by the electron configuration of that atom.

(c)

Interpretation:

The full electron configuration for the element with given atomic number, the orbital box diagram and the noble gas shorthand configuration ions are to be stated.
