Identify the atomic ground-state electron configurations that do not exist. For those that do exist, identify the element.
(a)
Interpretation: The atomic ground-state configuration that do not exist for the given sets need to be identified and the elements for atomic ground-state configuration that exists need to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
- Electronic configuration is the arrangement of the electrons of atoms in the orbital. For atoms and ions the electronic configuration are written by using Pauli Exclusion Principle and Hund’s rule.
- According to Pauli Exclusion Principle, no two electrons having the same spin can occupy the same orbital.
- According to Hund’s rule, the orbital in the subshell is filled singly by one electron before the same orbital is doubly filled. When the orbitals is singly filled, all the electrons have same spin. In a doubly filled orbital, there are two electrons with opposite spin. The electrons are filled from lowest energy orbital first.
- Half-filled orbitals are comparatively stable as completely filled orbitals. Therefore if there is a possibility of forming half filled orbital then the electron will be moved to the respective orbitals giving rise to more stability instead of being incompletely filled orbital.
- For simpler representation of ions or atoms, the electronic configuration of the completed octet noble gas configuration is considered and the remaining orbital alone is shown explicitly. The ground-state configuration of the noble gases are given below,
To identify: The given atomic ground-state configuration that do not exist and if it exists the element with the atomic ground-state configuration to be identified.

Answer to Problem 4.84QP
Answer
Atomic ground-state configuration does not exist for (c).
Explanation of Solution
Ground-state electronic configuration of the given element (c)
The atomic ground-state configuration is given in the problem statement. From this we can find that this has a complete krypton configuration along with two electrons in “s” subshell and three electrons in “p” subshell. This is derived as shown above. From the above drawn configuration we can find that the filling of orbitals does not take place according to the increasing order of energy. After filling of 5s orbital, 4d orbital has to be filled first before 5p orbital is getting filled. But in this case 5p subshell is filled with electrons. It does not comply with Hund’s rule and hence the given atomic ground-state configuration does not exist.
