The expected ground-state electron configuration of
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.
In
The convention followed to remove or add electrons is electrons of largest principal quantum number are lost first. In case of subshells of the same
