Interpretation:
The element should be identified when
Concept introduction:
The periodic table is given below,
The electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals.
The Aufbau principle:
The aufbau principle is states that in the ground state of an atom, electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. For example, the 1s shell is filled before the 2s subshell is occupied.
The subshell ordering by this rule is

- Unshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds. Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs. Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each designated atom. Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas. H₂C H₂ b Hc N CH2 The number of unshared pairs at atom a is The number of unshared pairs at atom b is The number of unshared pairs at atom c is The number of unshared pairs at atom a is 1 v The number of unshared pairs at atom b is Ov The number of unshared pairs at atom c is 1.arrow_forwardWhy do the 3s, 3p, and 3d orbitals have the same energy in a hydrogen atom but different energies in a many- electron atom?arrow_forwardA lithium atom has 3 protons and 4 neutrons.

- What is an ionic bond?arrow_forwardBenzene is a carbohydrate ubiquitous to organic chemistry. Its structure was proposed near the end of the 1800s by the, German chemist Kekul'e after he supposedly dreamt of a snake devouring its own tail. Knowing that benzene has a percent composition of 92.24% carbon and 7.76% hydrogen by mass and a molar mass of 78.11 g/mol, determine the compound's molecular formulas.
