Give the ground-state electron configu rations of (a) H2 - . (b) Li2, (c) Be2, (d) C2, (e) N2, and (f) O2 .
An experiment called the Stern–Gerlach experiment helpedestablish the existence of electron spin. In this experiment,a beam of silver atoms is passed through a magnetic field,which deflects half of the silver atoms in one direction andhalf in the opposite direction. The separation between thetwo beams increases as the strength of the magnetic fieldincreases. (a) What is the electron configuration for a silveratom? (b) Would this experiment work for a beam of cadmium(Cd) atoms? (c) Would this experiment work for abeam of fluorine (F) atoms?
3.) The experimental electronic configuration of Yb is [Xe]4f¹46s².
(a) Is this in line with the theory, e.g. Aufbau principle and atomic structure?
(b) If not, which is the expected electronic configuration?
(c) Give reasons you think explain this variations
(d) State the Aufbau principle
