Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
Question
![### Short Notation for Electron Configurations
For educational purposes, let’s explore how to use short notation to write the electron configurations for certain elements and ions. The short notation method uses noble gas notation to simplify the representation of electron configurations.
**Question:**
4. Use short notation to write the electron configuration of:
**A) Se**
_________________________________
**B) Te²⁻**
_________________________________
When using short notation for electron configurations:
1. **Identify the nearest preceding noble gas:** This noble gas's configuration will be written in brackets.
2. **Add the remaining electron configuration:** After the noble gas symbol, write the configuration for the remaining electrons to reach the desired element or ion.
### Example
For Selenium (Se):
1. Locate the nearest preceding noble gas to Selenium (34 electrons), which is Argon (Ar, 18 electrons).
2. Selenium’s configuration: \[ Ar \] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁴
For Tellurium ion (Te²⁻):
1. Locate the nearest preceding noble gas to Tellurium (52 electrons + 2 extra electrons for the 2- ion), which is Krypton (Kr, 36 electrons).
2. Tellurium’s configuration: \[ Kr \] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fcc86e2b6-ce0f-4f58-b766-ef1d838098d3%2F98846ead-7c32-473e-97a1-0a964fc2a3bf%2Fcnbzcc_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
