Question
Chapter 7.9, Problem 1RC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the given ground state electronic configuration, the element has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Aufbau Principle states that electrons starts to occupy from orbitals of lower energy level. Thus, the obtained lower energy configuration is known as ground-state electron configuration.
Aufbau principle:
- Electrons first occupy orbitals with lower energy than higher energy.
- An orbital can be occupied only by two electrons having opposite spins.
- Greater the number of parallel spins of electrons more stable the orbital. Each electron fills each orbital till it is half filled. This is known as Hund’s rule.
- The order of electrons filling in an atom is given as
