Interpretation:
To write the general valence configuration of the nitrogen, Z=7.
Concept Introduction:
When the electrons are arranged in the increasing order of energy in the orbitals of an atom is known as electronic configuration of that atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
To write the general valence configuration of the francium, Z=87.
Concept Introduction:
When the electrons are arranged in the increasing order of energy in the orbitals of an atom is known as electronic configuration of that atom. Atomic number of an atom in its neutral state is equal to the number of electrons which is unique for every element. On the basis of group of the element, one can identify the general valence configuration.

EBK INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY
- One of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. Does this apply to Daltons atomic theory? Give examples.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by anuclear atom? Describe the points of Ruth erford’s model for the nuclear atom and how he tested this model. Based on his experiments, how did Rutherford envision the structure of the atom? How did Rutherford’s model of the atom’s structure differ from Kelvin’s “plum pudding” model?arrow_forwardWhat are some of the physical properties that distinguish the metallic element from the nonmetals? Are these properties absolute, or do some nonmetallic elements exhibit some metallic properties (and vice versa)?arrow_forward
- Are the following statements true for the hydrogen atom only, true for all atoms, or not true for any atoms? a. The principal quantum number completely determines the energy of a given electron. b. The angular momentum quantum number, l, determines the shapes of the atomic orbitals. c. The magnetic quantum number, ml, determines the direction that the atomic orbitals point in space.arrow_forwardThe elements that lie close to the “stair-step” line as shown below in blue are called .arrow_forward2.84 Early attempts to arrange the elements often focused on atomic weight. Mendeleev considered a number of properties in addition to atomic weight, so he realized that some elements seemed out of place when ordered by atomic weight. Using the modern periodic table, identify elements for which Mendeleev must have had to switch the order in order to get the correct sequence of elements.arrow_forward
- The brilliance with which magnesium burns makes it ideal for use in marine flares and fireworks. Compare the mass of magnesium that burns with the mass of magnesium in the magnesium oxide ash that forms. Explain this in terms of atomic theory. The white light in fireworks can result from burning magnesium.arrow_forwardAl W W WEW THE TR Th Th TT 4 Which element's atoms will most likely never have a chemical reaction? A. Halogen elements C.
