Write the complete ground-state electron configuration of Cd²+.
For multi-digit superscripts or coefficients, use each number in succession.
Consider the ground-state electron configurations of the atoms with the following atomic numbers: 7, 20, 26, 32, 37, 41, 85, 96. Calculate the total spin quantum number S for each, as well as its magnetic moment in Bohr magnetons.
Using only the periodic table and the rules we learned in class, write the ground state electronic structure of the ground state of the Zn2+ in condensed notation.Use this sample format to enter your answer: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2 (the electronic structure of Pb). The outer shell orbitals must be listed with increasing n first and increasing l second as in this example. Do not list empty orbitals. The atomic symbol of the noble gas must be typed exactly and in the correct case.
