Chapter 9, Problem 65E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electron configuration for each of the given element is to be written by using the periodic table.

Concept introduction:

The electron configuration gives the representation of the distribution of electrons in an atom.

To write the electron configuration, use noble gas configurationin brackets for inner electrons.

The position of element is determined by the valence electrons of that element.

The row number of element in the periodic table is equal to the highest principal quantum number.

The principal quantum number for outermost $\text{d}$ orbital is given by the row number minus one.
