Answer to Problem 3.30E

The abbreviated electronic configuration for arsenic is [Ar]4s23d104p3 respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Electronic configuration tells about the arrangement of the electrons in each subshell and orbit of an atom. The abbreviated electronic configuration is the simplified representation of electrons in the valence shell by using noble gas symbols. This form is also known as noble gas configuration.

The atomic number of arsenic is 33 and its electronic configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p3. The number of electrons present in the inner shells of arsenic that is 1s22s22p63s23p6 represents the electronic configuration of argon. Therefore, the symbol of argon [Ar] is used to represent the number of electrons present in the inner shells of arsenic. Hence, the abbreviated electronic configuration for arsenic is [Ar]4s23d104p3.

Conclusion

The abbreviated electronic configuration for arsenic is [Ar]4s23d104p3 respectively.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The abbreviated electronic configuration for an element that contains 25 electrons is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 3.30E

The abbreviated electronic configuration for an element that contains 25 electrons is [Ar]4s23d5 respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Electronic configuration tells about the arrangement of the electrons in each subshell and each orbit of an atom. The abbreviated electronic configuration is the simplified representation of electrons in the valence shell by using noble gas symbols. This form is also known as noble gas configuration.

The element contains 25 electrons. Thus, the atomic number of an element is 25 that is manganese. The electronic configuration of manganese is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d5. The number of electrons present in the inner shells of manganese that is 1s22s22p63s23p6 represents the electronic configuration of argon. Therefore, the symbol of argon [Ar] is used to represent the number of electrons present in the inner shells of manganese. Hence, the abbreviated electronic configuration for manganese is [Ar]4s23d5.

Conclusion

The abbreviated electronic configuration for an element that contains 25 electrons is [Ar]4s23d5 respectively.

Answer to Problem 3.30E

The abbreviated electronic configuration for silicon is [Ne]3s23p2 respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Electronic configuration tells about the arrangement of the electrons in each subshell and orbit of an atom. The abbreviated electronic configuration is the simplified representation of electrons in the valence shell by using noble gas symbols. This form is also known as noble gas configuration.

The atomic number of silicon is 14. The electronic configuration of silicon is 1s22s22p63s23p2. The number of electrons present in the inner shells of silicon that is 1s22s22p6 represents the electronic configuration of neon. Therefore, the symbol of neon [Ne] is used to represent the number of electrons present in the inner shells of silicon. Hence, the abbreviated electronic configuration for silicon is [Ne]3s23p2.

Conclusion

The abbreviated electronic configuration for silicon is [Ne]3s23p2 respectively.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The abbreviated electronic configuration for an element number 53 is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The elements in a modern periodic table are arranged in increasing order of their atomic number. In the modern periodic table, the horizontal rows are known as periods and vertical columns are known as groups. There are 7 periods and 18 groups in modern periodic table.

Answer to Problem 3.30E

The abbreviated electronic configuration for an element number 53 is [Kr]5s24d105p5 respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Electronic configuration tells about the arrangement of the electrons in each subshell and each orbit of an atom. The abbreviated electronic configuration is the simplified representation of electrons in the valence shell by using noble gas symbols. This form is also known as noble gas configuration.

Iodine is an element whose atomic number is 53. The electronic configuration of iodine is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5. The number of electrons present in the inner shells of iodine that is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 represents the electronic configuration of krypton. Therefore, the symbol of krypton [Kr] is used to represent the number of electrons present in the inner shells of iodine. Hence, the abbreviated electronic configuration for iodine is [Kr]5s24d105p5.

Conclusion

The abbreviated electronic configuration for an element number 53 is [Kr]5s24d105p5 respectively.
