(a)
Interpretation:
The most likely charge for ion formed from
Concept Introduction:
The fundamental principles that are followed to write an electronic configuration include three rules as follows:
Electron in a
Hund’s rule suggests electrons are not allowed to be paired up until each degenerate set of orbital has got at least one electron.
Pauli Exclusion Principle states two electrons within the same orbital cannot possess same set for four possible quantum numbers.
In
The convention followed to remove or add electrons is electrons of largest principal quantum number are lost first. In case of subshells of the same

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- The C=O double bond is polar, with a dipole moment of 1.0 Debye. Do you expect CO2 to be a polar molecule? Why or why not?arrow_forwardAluminum oxide (Al₂ O₃) is a widely used industrial abrasive(emery, corundum), for which the specific application depends onthe hardness of the crystal. What does this hardness imply about the magnitude of the lattice energy? Would you have predictedfrom the chemical formula that Al₂ O₃ is hard? Explain.arrow_forwardDetermine the number of valence electrons in sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and then draw the corresponding Lewis structure (with minimized formal charges).arrow_forward
- how would I identify which of these Lewis structures (A, B, C or D) is correct for PO33- and what is the VSEPR shape of the compound?arrow_forwardWrite molecular formulas for the five possible molecular ions of m/z 100 containing only the elements C, H, N, and O.arrow_forwardThe cations O2+ and N2+ are formed when molecules of O2 and N2 are subjected to intense, high-energy solar radiation in Earths upper atmosphere. Write the electron configuration for O2+. Predict its bond order and magnetic behavior.arrow_forward
- The percent ionic character of the bonds in several interhalogen Molecules (as estimated from their measured dipole moments and bond lengths) are ClF (11%), BrF(15%), BrCl (5.6%), ICl(5.8%), and IBr (10%). Estimate the percent ionic characters for each of these molecules, using the equation in Problem 37, and compare them with the given values.arrow_forwardhat does it mean to say that a bond is polar? Give two examples of molecules with polar bonds. Indicate in your examples the direction of the polarity.arrow_forwardWrite the Lewis structures for the following species, and indicate whether each is an odd-electron species, an electron-deficient species, or an expanded valence shell species. (a) BI3 (b) IF5 (c) HN2arrow_forward
- The bond length in HI(1.62) is close to the sum of the atomic radii of H (0.37 Å) and I (1.33 Å). What does this fact indicate about the polarity of the bond?arrow_forwardWhich of the following atoms would be expected to form negative ions in binary ionic compounds and which would be expected to form positive ions: P, I, Mg, Cl, In, Cs, O, Pb, Co?arrow_forwardThree known isomers exist of N2CO, with the atoms in these sequences: NOCN; ONNC; and ONCN. Write resonance structures for each isomer and use formal charge to predict which isomer is the most stable.arrow_forward
