a)
Interpretation:
The Arsenic (As) electronic configurations has to be derived using its (s, p, d, f) notation and noble gas orbital box diagram.
Concept Introduction:
General properties of Arsenic (As): The arsenic occurs in many minerals and usually in combination with sulfur and metals but also as pure elemental crystal. Arsenic (As) is metalloid.
Electronic configuration: The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons of an given molecule or respective atoms in atomic or molecular orbitals.
The important there rules for electronic configuration given below:
Aufbau principle: This rule statues that ground state of an atom or ions electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. If consider the 1s shell is filled the 2s subshell is occupied.
Hund's Rule: The every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.
Pauli exclusion rule: an atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons, each with opposite spin direction.
b)
Interpretation:
The Krypton (Kr) electronic configurations has to be derived using its (s, p, d, f) notation and noble gas orbital box diagram.
Concept Introduction:
General properties of Arsenic (As): The arsenic occurs in many minerals and usually in combination with sulfur and metals but also as pure elemental crystal. In another important think (As) is metalloid, it is various allotropes and this metal only uses for industry.

- Discuss briefly the difference between an orbit (as described by Bohr for hydrogen) and an orbital (as described by the more modern, wave mechanical picture of the atom).arrow_forwardAtoms of which group in the periodic table have a valence shell electron configuration of ns2?arrow_forwardThe energy needed to remove one electron from a gaseous potassium atom is only about two-thirds as much as that needed to remove one electron from a gaseous calcium atom, yet nearly three times as much energy as that needed to remove one electron from K+ as from Ca+ . What explanation can you give for this contrast? What do you expect to be the relation between the ionization energy of Ca+ and that of neutral K?arrow_forward
- The energy needed to ionize an atom of element X when it is in its most stable state is 500kJmol1 . However, if an atom of X is in its lowest excited state, only 120kJmol1 is needed to ionize it. What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted when an atom of X undergoes a transition from the lowest excited state to the ground state?arrow_forwardSection 11.6 uses a "firefly" analogy to illustrate how the wave mechanical modal for the atom differs from Bohr’s. model. Explain this analogy.arrow_forwardConsider the following statement "The ionization energy for the potassium atom is negative, because when K loses an electron to become K +, it achieves a noble gas electron configuration." Indicate everything that is correct in this statement. Indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect information and explain.arrow_forward
