Interpretation: The abbreviated electron configuration of following elements should be explained.
Concept introduction: The abbreviated electron configurations use noble gas configurations, which have full electron shells, to describing the electronic structure of some elements. The electron configuration can be visualized as the outer electrons, equal to the noble gas of the preceding period, and the valence electrons.
a) abbreviated electron configuration of carbon.
To discuss: abbreviated electron configuration of carbon element.
b) abbreviated Electron configuration of silicon
To discuss: abbreviated electron configuration of silicon element.
c) abbreviated Electron configuration of phosphorus.
To discuss: abbreviated electron configuration of phosphorus element.
d) abbreviated Electron configuration of fluorine.
To discuss: abbreviated electron configuration of fluorine element.
