(i)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Possible term symbols for Sc[Ar]3d14s2 has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

A term symbol describes the orbital, spin and total angular momenta of an electronic state.  The symbol L represents the vector sum of orbital angular momentum.  The symbol S represents the vector sum of spin angular momentum.  The symbol J represents the total angular momentum.  Therefore, the term symbol is represented as given below,

  2S+1LJ

Sum of orbital angular momentum of individual electrons is the total orbital angular momentum (ML).  By knowing the ML values, the free-ion terms can be determined.  General table for the free-ion terms can be given as shown below,

MLFree-ion term

3F
4G
5H
6I

Sum of spin angular momentum of individual electrons is the total spin angular momentum (MS).  Vector sum of the orbital angular momentum and spin angular momentum is the total angular momentum (J).  This can be given as,

    J=(L+S)to(LS)

Students have asked these similar questions
I have a question about this problem involving mechanisms and drawing curved arrows for acids and bases. I know we need to identify the nucleophile and electrophile, but are there different types of reactions? For instance, what about Grignard reagents and other types that I might not be familiar with? Can you help me with this? I want to identify the names of the mechanisms for problems 1-14, such as Gilman reagents and others. Are they all the same? Also, could you rewrite it so I can better understand? The handwriting is pretty cluttered. Additionally, I need to label the nucleophile and electrophile, but my main concern is whether those reactions differ, like the "Brønsted-Lowry acid-base mechanism, Lewis acid-base mechanism, acid-catalyzed mechanisms, acid-catalyzed reactions, base-catalyzed reactions, nucleophilic substitution mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), elimination reactions (E1 and E2), organometallic mechanisms, and so forth."
