(a)
Interpretation:
Assuming three electrons are allowed per orbital the number of electrons needed for noble-gas configuration has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
According to Pauli Exclusion Principle two or more electrons having same spin cannot occupy same orbital. In that case an orbital can occupy only two electrons which have opposite spins.
Octet rule states that an atom is said to be stable if eight electrons are occupied in its valence shell.
Noble gas configuration refers to most stable electronic configuration as their valence shells are completely occupied with eight electrons thereby satisfying the octet rule.
(b)
Interpretation:
Assuming three electrons are allowed per orbital the number of electrons shared in forming a covalent bond has to be determined.
(c)
Interpretation:
Assuming three electrons are allowed per orbital the electronic configuration of an element with
Concept Introduction:
Electron dot structure also known as Lewis dot structure is a diagram which shows the valence electrons of the atom.
(d)
Interpretation:
Assuming three electrons are allowed per orbital electron dot structure of the molecule
Concept Introduction:
Electron dot structure also known as Lewis dot structure is a diagram representing a compound revealing the valence electrons of the constituent atoms.
