a)
Interpretation:
The Arsenic (As) electronic configurations has to be derived using its (s, p, d, f) notation and noble gas orbital box diagram.
Concept Introduction:
General properties of Arsenic (As): The arsenic occurs in many minerals and usually in combination with sulfur and metals but also as pure elemental crystal. Arsenic (As) is metalloid.
Electronic configuration: The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons of an given molecule or respective atoms in atomic or molecular orbitals.
The important there rules for electronic configuration given below:
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.
b)
Interpretation:
The Krypton (Kr) electronic configurations has to be derived using its (s, p, d, f) notation and noble gas orbital box diagram.
Concept Introduction:
General properties of Arsenic (As): The arsenic occurs in many minerals and usually in combination with sulfur and metals but also as pure elemental crystal. In another important think (As) is metalloid, it is various allotropes and this metal only uses for industry.

- The energy needed to remove one electron from a gaseous potassium atom is only about two-thirds as much as that needed to remove one electron from a gaseous calcium atom, yet nearly three times as much energy as that needed to remove one electron from K+ as from Ca+ . What explanation can you give for this contrast? What do you expect to be the relation between the ionization energy of Ca+ and that of neutral K?arrow_forwardConsider the following statement "The ionization energy for the potassium atom is negative, because when K loses an electron to become K +, it achieves a noble gas electron configuration." Indicate everything that is correct in this statement. Indicate everything that is incorrect. Correct the incorrect information and explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following atoms and ions is (are) isoelectronic with S2+:Si4+,Ar,As3+,Si,Al3+?arrow_forward
- (1) What is the valence electron configuration for the arsenic atom? (2) What is the valence electron configuration for the fluorine atom?arrow_forward56. Refer to the periodic table and write the predicted electron configuration for each of the following elements.

For example, if a has the lowest ionization energy and b the next highest, then your list should start a, b, ... Important: don't try to figure out exactly which elements are marked, and then use your knowledge of the properties of each specific element. You don't need to. You will also be marked wrong for any answer, correct or not, that can't be determined from only the rough location of each marked element in the Periodic Table. 1-1-0-1 ×arrow_forward
