(a)
Interpretation:
The ground state electronic configuration for
Concept Introduction:
- Excited state electronic configuration:
The electronic configuration that results when an electron in the ground state have been moved to a higher –energy orbital.
- Ground state electronic configuration:
A description about orbitals in which the electrons of an atom occupies when they are all in their lowest available energy orbital.
Electron configuration: The distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals.
Formation of ions:
Atom possesses equal number of protons and electrons and remains electrically neutral. By gaining (accepting electrons) or losing (donating electrons) one or more electrons, converts the neutral atom into a charged particle called IONS.
Cation: The loss of one or more electrons by a neutral atom leaves the atom positively charged called cation.
Anion: The gain of one or more electrons by a neutral atom leaves the neutral atom negatively charged called anion.
