(a)
Interpretation:
The electronic configuration of
(b)
Interpretation:
The quantum numbers n and l values of outermost electron of
(c)
Interpretation:
The highest probable
Concept introduction:
Ionization energy:
In a gaseous state isolated neutral atom, the amount of energy required to eject an electron from outermost shell is known as ionization energy. Ionization energy increases from left to right across periods due to increase of effective nuclear charge. Ionization energy decreases down the group due to addition of electrons enters into new orbital which is far from nucleus.
(d)
Interpretation:
The third ionization energy of ruthenium and iron has to be compared.
