Interpretation:
The complete electronic configuration and orbital diagram for each of the elements aluminium through argon should be written.
Concept Introduction:
The distribution of electrons in atom into orbitals is said to be electronic configuration. The electronic configuration for every element present in the periodic table is unique or different.
The electronic configuration is also denoted by the pictorial representations, known as orbital diagrams. Orbital diagram represents the pairing arrangement of electrons and individual orbitals. The filling of electrons in the orbital is done in the way; first the electrons are filled single in the orbital, after filling the single electron per orbital, if any electron is left in that energy level, then pairing of electrons occurs. Electrons are present with opposite spin in the orbital.

- Section 11.6 uses a "firefly" analogy to illustrate how the wave mechanical modal for the atom differs from Bohr’s. model. Explain this analogy.arrow_forwardWhat major assumption (that was analogous to what had already been demonstrated for electromagnetic radiation) did de Broglie and Schrodinger make about the motion of tiny panicles?arrow_forwardWhy was Bohr's theory for the hydrogen atom initially accepted, and why was it ultimately discarded?arrow_forward
- Use the aufbau procedure to obtain the electron configuration and orbital diagram for atoms of the following elements. (a) Be (b) B (c) Ne (d) Rbarrow_forward6.47 Depict two ways to place electrons in the 2p orbitals for a nitrogen atom. Which depiction is correct according to Hund’s rule?arrow_forwardAlthough we may draw the 4s orbital with the shape of a ball, there is some probability of finding the electron outside the ball we draw. Is this statement true or false? Comment on this statement.arrow_forward
- Describe the experiment of Stern and Gerlach. How are the results for the hydrogen atom explained?arrow_forward• list the number of orbitals of each type (1s, 3p, etc) in an atom.arrow_forwardDiscuss briefly the difference between an orbit (as described by Bohr for hydrogen) and an orbital (as described by the more modern, wave mechanical picture of the atom).arrow_forward
- Is the following statement true or false? The hydrogen atom has a 3s orbital. Explain.arrow_forwardConsider the following statement "The ionization energy for the potassium atom is negative, because when K loses an electron to become K +, it achieves a noble gas electron configuration." Indicate everything that is correct in this statement. Indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect information and explain.arrow_forwardUsing Fig. 2-30, list the elements (ignore the lanthanides and actinides) that have ground-state electron configurations that differ from those we would expect from their positions in the periodic table.arrow_forward
