(a)
Interpretation: The oxidation state of iron and its electronic configuration in
Concept introduction: Electronic configuration is used to describe the distribution of the electrons in the orbitals of an atom. Structure of an atom can be defined by its electronic configuration. It can also be used to denote an atom which is ionized to a cation or anion formed by the loss or gain of electrons in their respective orbitals.
To determine: The oxidation state of iron and its electronic configuration in

- Halogens combine with one another to produce interhalogens such as BrF3. Sketch a possible molecular structure for this molecule, and decide if the FBrF bond angles will be less than or greater than ideal.arrow_forwardsketch a diagram showing the formation of energy levels from the valence orbitals for Li, Li2, Li3, Li(n). On the diagram, place arrows indicating how the electrons fill these energy levels How many energy levels are present in the valence band of a single crystal of lithium with a mass of 348.3 mg?arrow_forwardWhy NaH or LiH are not used as reducing agents?
