Use the periodic table to write electron configurations for each
of the following elements. Represent core electrons with the symbol
of the previous noble gas in brackets.
Part A
P
Express your answer in condensed form in order of increasing
orbital energy as a string without blank space between orbitals.
For example, [He]2s22p2 should be entered as
[He]2s^22p^2.
Part B
As
Part C
Sr
Part D
Sb
The following electron configurations represent excited states.
Identify the element and enter its ground-state condensed electron
configuration:
1s^22s^22p^43s^1
[Ar]4s13d104p25p1
[Kr]5s24d25p1
The electron configurations described in this chapter all refer
to gaseous atoms in their ground states. An atom may absorb a
quantum of energy and promote one of its electrons to a
higher-energy orbital. When this happens, we say that the atom is
in an excited state. The electron configurations of some excited
atoms are given. Identify these atoms and write their ground-state
configurations.
(c)
1s22s22p64s1
(d)
[Ar]4s13d104p4
(e)
[Ne]3s23p43d1
The metals Cadmium and Mercury are similar in their chemical
properties, but in terms of their absolute entropy at room
temperature and pressure, they are very different. Why?
