Fill in the chart below. The element/ions are in their ground state.
6. There are three rules electrons normally follow when occupying orbitals in an atom. (i) Name each of these rules and then (ii) explain how each rule has an effect on the electron filling order. To illustrate these rules, (iii) draw a diagram of the electron filling pattern for oxygen. Note: Do not just write out the electron configuration; you must draw some form of diagram that explains the order electrons

Cr forms two monatomic ions, Cr²+ and Cr³t. From which sublevels do you expect electrons are lost in forming these ions? (Hint: It is possible for electrons other than those in the s and p sublevels to be involved in forming ions.) In forming the Cr*+ ion are: electron(s) lost from the 4s orbital? electron(s) lost from the 3d orbital? To support your answer, complete the following. It is OK to use the noble gas core notation. (Express your answer as a series of orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of Li would be entered in 1 complete form as 1s 2 2s or in condensed form as [He]2s '.)
