- For the element Cadmium (Cd). Write out the complete electron configuration. Draw the orbital diagram (boxes with arrows) for its valence (not core) electrons. Give the number of unpaired electrons. Write out the condensed electron configuration (Noble gas notation) for the Cd2+ cationarrow_forwardhow many orbitals occur in the n= 1 electron shell?arrow_forwardEach of the statements below attempts to explain why some periodic property varies predictably among elements in the periodic table. Determine if each statement is true or false. Within a period, elements with higher atomic numbers have atoms of smaller radius because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels. Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers have lower ionization energy because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels. Within a period, elements with higher atomic numbers have higher ionization energy because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels. Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers have higher electronegativity because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge. Within a period, elements with lower atomic numbers require more energy to remove an electron from the atom, because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels. Within a period, elements with lower atomic…arrow_forward
- Write true if the statement is true. If false, replace the wrong word/phrase with the correct answer. In a polyelectronic atom, when two orbitals have the same principal quantum number, the electrons occupying the orbital with the higher angular momentum quantum number will be more shielded from the nucleus.arrow_forwardPart 6: 6a. What trend in atomic radius occurs as you go up a group on the periodic table? Explain why this occurs. 6b. Write the complete electron configuration for Sr*. 6c. What element is the electron configuration for Sr+ isoelectric with? 6d. Write the abbreviated electron configuration for Bi. 6e. Write four quantum numbers to describe the highest energy electron in the Sr atom. The answer must include the four symbols and four correct numbers.arrow_forwardWrite the electron configuration for the ground state of Hg2+ (mercury 2+). Use the noble gas shortcut. Since Canvas doesn't support superscripts and the like, type in the electron configuration with a space between each sublevel, and without special formatting. For example, [He]2s2p? would be typed in the answer box as "[He] 2s2 2p2".arrow_forward

How electrons exist in these orbitals changes the properties of atoms. Electron configurations are either written in electron configuration notation or as an orbital diagram (boxes corresponding to orbitals of increasing energy). Write the ground state electron configuration and corresponding orbital diagram for each ion or neutral atom below. Do not use noble gas abbreviations for period 1, 2 or 3 elements.arrow_forward
- In Universe L, recently discovered by an intrepid team of chemists who also happen to have studied interdimensional travel, quantum mechanics works just as it does in our universe, except that there are four d orbitals instead of the usual number we observe here. Use these facts to write the ground-state electron configurations of the seventh and eighth elements in the first transition series in Universe L. Note: you may use [X] to stand for the electron configuration of the noble gas at the end of the row before the first transition series. seventh transition metal: eighth transition metal:arrow_forwardSelect the statement(s) that explain(s) the relationship between the arrangement of elements by size and first ionization energy. 1. The first set of paired electrons in a pp subshell experience a large amount of electron-electron repulsion, making the fourth electron in a pp subshell easy to remove. 2. The third unpaired electron in a pp subshell causes a lot of electron-electron repulsion among the orbitals, making the third electron in a pp subshell easy to remove. 3. A pp subshell with only one unpaired electron is extremely stable, making the fifth electron in a pp subshell easy to remove. 4. The two arrangements are the same because IE of elements increases from left to right and the radii of elements decreases from left to right. 5. A full ss subshell is able to shield a newly filled pp subshell from the nucleus, making the first electron in a pp subshell easy to remove.arrow_forward
