Answer to Problem 47A

The element is Bismuth having the electronic configuration 1s22s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d104p6 5s2 4d10 5p66s2 4f25d10 6p3

Explanation of Solution

The only metal located in group 15 is bismuth. The electronic configuration is determined by placing the electrons in different orbitals.

The electronic configuration of Bismuth is as follows:

1s22s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d104p6 5s2 4d10 5p66s2 4f25d10 6p3

Bismuth is often found in most cosmetics. It is located in six period and has three electrons in the outermost shell.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction
