- What is the maximum number of electrons in an n = 2 shell?arrow_forwardWhat would be your reaction to a claim that a new element had been discovered, and it fit between tin (Sn) and antimony (Sb) in the periodic table?arrow_forward2. Give the 4 sets of quantum numbers for the 16 electrons of Sulfur.arrow_forward
- Write the complete ground-state electron configuration of S²⁻.arrow_forwardThe ionic radii of the ions S2–, Cl–, and K+ are 184, 181, 138 pm respectively. Explain why these ions have different sizes even though they contain the same number of electrons.arrow_forwardExplain the organization of an atom of carbon.arrow_forward
- Give the symbol of the element that has the largest atomic size in Period 1.arrow_forwardConsider the following elements – O, F, Na, Mg and Al. -What is the first criterion you would use to determine which the largest atom? Explain why you chose this as the first criterion.-Are there any other criteria you would use to determine the next largest atom?-Arrange the above atoms in ascending order (smallest to largest). Explain your reasoningarrow_forward2.84 Early attempts to arrange the elements often focused on atomic weight. Mendeleev considered a number of properties in addition to atomic weight, so he realized that some elements seemed out of place when ordered by atomic weight. Using the modern periodic table, identify elements for which Mendeleev must have had to switch the order in order to get the correct sequence of elements.arrow_forward
