Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electron configuration of Neodymium, iron, and boron has to be written using orbital box diagram.

Concept Introduction:

Electronic configuration: The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons (e-) of an given molecule or respective atoms in atomic or molecular orbital’s.

Aufbau principle: This rule statues that ground state of an atom or ions electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. If consider the 1s shell is filled the 2s subshell is occupied.

Hund's Rule: The every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.

Pauli exclusion rule: an atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons, each with opposite spin direction.

Paramagnetic: The Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field.

Diamagnetic properties: In diamagnetic materials all the electron are paired so there is no permanent net magnetic moment per atom.

Answer to Problem 45GQ

Statement (a): The atomic number of Neodymium (Nd) (Z=60) electronic configuration of Neodymium (Nd)= 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s25p64f46s2 and Noble gas configuration of [Xe] 4f46s2.

The electronic configuration of Iron (Fe) =1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2 and noble gas configuration of [Ar]3d64s2.

The electronic configuration of Boron (B) =1s22s22p1 and noble gas configuration of [He]2s22p1

Statement (b): The all elements (Nd, Fe and B) are obeyed for paramagnetic properties.

Statement (c): The orbital notation of Neodymium (Nd3+) ions= 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s25p64f36s0 noble gas configuration of Neodymium (Nd3+) ions= [Xe] 4f36s0. The electronic configuration of Iron (Fe3+) ions =1s22s22p63s23p63d54s0 and noble gas configuration of [Ar]3d54s0. Than these ions are obeyed for paramagnetic properties.

To determine: The orbital notation method, noble gas configuration methods and Magnetic property should be explained given the different type of Neodymium (Nd), Iron (Fe) and Boron (B) element and its (Nd3+, Fe3+) ions.

Explanation of Solution

The electron configuration of Neodymium (Nd) element:

The orbital box diagram as follows,

AtomicnumberofNeodymium (Nd)=60Complete (spdf)notationof(Nd)=1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s25p64f46s2Orbital filling method=1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d85s25p64f46s2spdfwith noble gas notation=[Xe] 4f46s2[AtomicnumberofXe=54]Orbitalboxnotation       = [Xe]4f46s2

Hence, the Noble gas configuration of [Xe] 4f46s2.

The electron configuration of  Iron (Fe):

The orbital box diagram as follows,

  AtomicnumberofIron (Fe)=26spdfwith orbtital notation=Fe[1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2Orbital filling method       1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2spdfwith noble gas notation=[Ar]3d64s2Orbitalboxnotation       =  [Ar]3d64s2

Hence, the Noble gas configuration of [Ar]3d64s2.

The electron configuration of  Boron (B):

The orbital box diagram as follows,

AtomicnumberofBoron (B)=5spdfwith orbtital notation=B[1s22s22p1]Orbital filling method       1s22s22p1spdfwith noble gas notation=[He]2s22p1Orbitalboxnotation       =  [He]2s22p1

Hence, the Noble gas configuration of [He]2s22p1.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The magnetic property for the elements neodymium, iron, and Boron has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Electronic configuration: The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons (e-) of an given molecule or respective atoms in atomic or molecular orbital’s.

Aufbau principle: This rule statues that ground state of an atom or ions electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. If consider the 1s shell is filled the 2s subshell is occupied.

Hund's Rule: The every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.

Pauli exclusion rule: an atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons, each with opposite spin direction.

Paramagnetic: The Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field.

Diamagnetic properties: In diamagnetic materials all the electron are paired so there is no permanent net magnetic moment per atom.

Explanation of Solution

Analyzing for Magnetic properties:

The given Neodymium (Nd), Iron (Fe) and Boron (B) elements shows good paramagnetic character, because unpaired electrons are present.

  Neodymium (Nd)element=[Xe] 4f46s2[AtomicnumberofXe=54]= [Xe]4f46s2AllfourelectronsareunpairedObeyed for paramagantic

  Iron (Fe)=26 [Ar]3d64s2[AtomicnumberofAr=18]= [Ar]3d64s2AllfourelectronsareunpairedObeyed for paramagantic 

It has four unpaired electrons which show paramagnetic property.

The Boron (B) system is we discussed below,

  Boron (B)=5 [He]2s22p1[AtomicnumberofHe=2]= [He]2s22p1AlloneelectronisaunpairedObeyed for paramagantic 

It has one unpaired electrons which shows paramagnetic property.
