Question
help it said it was incorrect
Write the condensed (noble-gas)
electron configuration of ruthenium.
[Kr] 4 d'5s'
Incorrect, 1 attempt remaining
The general format for depicting the
arrangement lists the principal quantum
number (n) followed by the letter
designating the angular quantum number
(1) and then the number of electrons in the
orbital are presented as a superscript.
Begin by determining the total number of
electrons in the atom or ion. Then, fill the
electrons in the lowest energy orbitals first
then proceed to higher energy orbitals until
all electrons are used. An orbital can
contain up to 2 electrons in each subshell.
