Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The chemical formula and the electronic configuration of iodide ion have to be predicted.
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.
