Question

Present full electron configuration with the orbital filling diagram for the following atoms or ions.

P^3-

B³⁺

O^2-

Ne^-

Na⁺

F^2-

Si

Answer 1

Answer – We are given the ions and need to write the electron configuration with the orbital filling diagram for the given atoms or ions.

We know the general electronic configuration and we know the number of electrons are filled in the orbital is equal to its atomic number, for example Carbon has atomic number 6 then we need to fill 6 electrons in the orbitals in the electronic configuration. We are given ions when there is negative charged ion mean there is need to plus the charge and atomic number of that atom. If there is positive charge then we need to subtract the charge number from atomic number of that atom.

The follow are the electron configuration with the orbital filling diagram-

P^3- = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

B³⁺ = 1s²

O^2- = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Ne = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Na⁺ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

F^2- = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

Si = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
