Chapter 8, Problem 45E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Bromine is given to be a highly reactive liquid while krypton is an inert gas. The difference between bromine and krypton based on their electron configuration is to be stated.

Concept introduction:In the molecular or atomic orbitals the electrons of an atom or molecule is distributed. This distribution of electrons is called as the electronic configuration of the atom or molecule. It is used to show the orbitals of an atom in its ground state.

To determine:The difference between bromine and krypton based on their electron configuration.
