**Question 20:** In which subshell are the highest-energy electrons in an atom of the isotope \(^{131}\text{I}\) in its ground state? Are the electron configurations of \(^{131}\text{I}\) and \(^{127}\text{I}\) the same?This exercise prompts the reader to consider the electron configurations of iodine isotopes, focusing particularly on where the highest-energy electrons are located in \(^{131}\text{I}\) when it is in its ground state. Furthermore, it asks whether the electron configurations of \(^{131}\text{I}\) and \(^{127}\text{I}\) differ, highlighting an exploration of subatomic particle arrangements within isotopes.

Write the electron configuration for the ground state of Hg2+ (mercury 2+). Use the noble gas shortcut.

Imagine a universe where there are three spin states for the electron instead of two (for example, spin up, spin down, and spin cray-cray). The number of subshells per shell and number of orbitals per subshell stay the same, but an orbital now holds three electrons instead of two. The names of the elements stay the same. Draw the top three rows of what this new periodic table would look like, indicating which elements are in which groups in our new universe, and show the electron configurations of each of the elements of these three rows.
