Concept Introduction:
The fundamental principles that are followed to write an electronic configuration include three rules as follows:
Electron in a
Hund’s rule suggests electrons are not allowed to be paired up until each degenerate set of orbital has got at least one electron.
Pauli Exclusion Principle states two electrons within the same orbital cannot possess same set for four possible quantum numbers.

- What are the chemical formulas for ( a ) disulfur dioxide and ( b ) iodine pentafluoride ?arrow_forwardUsing Lewis electron-dot symbols to depict the monatomic ions formed from each of the following reactants, predict the formula of the compound the ions produce.(Type your answer using the format CO2 for CO2.) (a) O and Ca (b) N and Mg (c) Br and Li (d) K and Parrow_forwardWhich of these elements is most likely to form ions with a2+charge?(a) Li (b) Ca (c) O (d) P (e) Clarrow_forward
- For many years after they were discovered, it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds. Now we know that belief to be incorrect. A mixture of xenon and fluorine gases, confined in a quartz bulb and placed on a windowsill, is found to slowly produce a white solid. Analysis of the compound indicates that it contains 77.55% Xe and 22.45% F by mass.(a) What is the formula of the compound?(b) Write a Lewis structure for the compound.(c) Predict the shape of the molecules of the compound.(d) What hybridization is consistent with the shape you predicted?arrow_forwardPredict the ion generally formed by (a) Sr, (b) S, (c) Al.arrow_forwardUse the periodic table to (i) predict electron configurations for the following species: Arsenic ion, As3– Magnesium ion, Mg2+ Vanadium(II) ion, V2+ (ii) Write the electron configurations of each species in the noble gas notation. (iii) Draw an orbital diagram to represent 1 c above. Draw the Lewis electron dot structures of the following chemical species. In each case you must say whether or not the central atom obeys the Octet Rule. CS2 and H2S CF4 and SiH4 NH2Cl CO32– and BF3 PCl5 ClF3, XeF2, Calculate the formal charge on the Sulphur atom in the Sulphate anion structure shown below(picture attatched) Give the electron-pair and molecular geometries for NF3 and XeF4.arrow_forward
- Choosing from the elements in the third row of the Periodic Table write out thechemical formula of(i) A basic oxide.(ii) An amphoteric oxide.(iii) An acidic oxidearrow_forwardGive the group number and the general valence electron configuration of an element with the following electron-dot symbol. (For example, type ns2 np6 for ns²np°, which is the valence configuration of all group 8A elements.) (a) group number electron configuration (b) group number electron configurationarrow_forwardTestosterone is an anabolic steroid. The structure of testosterone is shown below. What is the idealised bond angle at the indicated atom (ii) ? Hint: atom (iv) has been completed for you as an example. (iv) bond angle: 109.5°, geometry of the electron pairs: tetrahedral, shape of the bonds: tetrahedral ·····|||I H ····||||I ii ivarrow_forward

By referring to the periodic table, predictthe charge of the most stable ion of each: (a) Mg, (b) Al,(c) K, (d) S, (e) F.arrow_forwardElements in the same group of the periodic table often formoxyanions with the same general formula. The anions arealso named in a similar fashion. Based on these observations,suggest a chemical formula or name, as appropriate, for eachof the following ions: (a) BrO4-, (b) SeO32-, (c) arsenate ion,(d) hydrogen tellurate ion.arrow_forward
