Re: Electron configuration order Post by Akshay Chellappa 1H » Sat Oct 05, 2019 7:01 am Notation is written by increasing energy, so maybe because the d-orbital is not completely filled it actually has a lower energy level than the s-orbital.
The correct order of writing an electron configuration would be [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p², since this correctly arranges the energy levels of the atoms sequentially, regardless of the orbital type. Even if the orbitals are ordered via s, p, d, and f, when an s orbital is filled, such as 6s, then the 5d orbital is next as the lower energy ...
Postby powerberry » Fri Oct 25, 2013 6:46 pm. Electrons are typically removed from the valence shells, which are the highest s and p orbitals. Also, Hund's rule still applies here, but backwards. Electrons will be removed from their orbitals until all of them are unpaired, and then the unpaired ones will be removed. Top.
An example of this from the textbook problems would be 2A.19 part a, where the textbook answer says that the ground state electron configuration for Sb3+ should be [Kr]4d10 5s2, but the way I have it is flipped, [Kr}5s2 4d10, because the 5s2 orbital is lower in energy than the 4d10 orbital.
You can see that normally (nuclear charge >= 8) the sigma (σ) bonds are at a lower energy. This is highlighted by a yellow circle. Now we fill in the M. O. chart. We need to know that: N2+ has 9 valence electrons (5 (2) - 1 = 9) N2- has 11 valence electrons (5 (2) + 1 = 11) The M.O. diagram for regular N 2 is shown below.
No, the correct electron configuration for tungsten is [Xe] 4f14 5d4 6s2. You write the electron configuration in order to lowest energies to highest energy shells. A 4f shell is lower energy than a 5d shell. A 5d shell is lower energy than a 6s shell. First, write the first noble gas with a lower atomic number than the element: [Xe]
In most cases, this leads to the electron configuration following the order of the periodic table. However, there are some exceptions when it comes to the 3d and 4s orbitals. The main exceptions involve the elements chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu), as well as their respective ions. These exceptions are due to the desire for stability and lower ...
Genuinely have gotten very confused with order of electron configurations when working out of the textbook. I've watched who know how many videos on electron configuration and I every time I feel I understand it as I'm practicing problems int he videos, for some reason I keep getting the order wrong in textbook answers.
Yeah, look at the periodic table. But also, you can just know certain facts like when n = 1, there is only the s subshell. For n = 2, there is only the s and p subshell. for n = 3, there are s, p, and d subshells, and so on. And when writing electron configurations, you always write in the order of s, p, d, f. Top.
A student in class asked what would be Cu + and I wrote Cu [Ar]3d 10 which is what NIST shows. If one has the correct e- ground state then, as discussed in class, it is very straight forward to write the e- configuration for the cation. Just remove the last (outer most, highest energy) e-. These are the same ground state electron configurations ...
