Interpretation:
From the given choices the correct choice that shows the valence orbital diagram for the given set of ions should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic Table: The available chemical elements are arranged considering their
In periodic table the horizontal rows are called periods and the vertical column are called group.
There are seven periods and 18 groups present in the table and some of those groups are given special name as follows,
Atomic Number: Atomic number of the element is equal to the number of protons present in the nucleus of the element which is denoted by symbol Z. The superscript presents on the left side of the
Cation: Removal of electron from the atom results to form positively charged ion called cation.
Anion: Addition of electron to atom results to form negatively charged ion called anion.
The net charge present in the element denotes the presence or absence of electrons in the element.
Electronic configuration: It is used to represent the distribution of electrons placed over orbitals that present in the atom.
The rules followed by the electrons are as follows,
The electrons gets distributed strictly following the order starting from lower energy orbital to higher energy orbital(Aufbau principle), pairing of electrons in subshell starts only when all the orbitals in the subshell are singly filled (Hund’s Rule) and finally, no two electrons that have same set of quantum numbers (Pauli’s Exclusion Principle).
Valence Orbital diagram: The diagram that depicts the distribution of electrons in the valence shell (outermost orbitals) of the element.
