Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The total number of orbitals in the last sub shell of the fifth shell, number of electron to fill the sub shell should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The Aufbau principle:
The aufbau principle is states that in the ground state of an atom, electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. For example, the 1s shell is filled before the 2s subshell is occupied.
The subshell ordering by this rule is
Number of electrons in the shells is given below,
Each shell contains only a fixed number of electrons. The first shell contains two electrons, the second shell contains eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell contains 18 (2 + 6 + 10), fourth shell contains (2 + 6 + 10 + 14) and so on.

- How many electrons must a nitrogen atom, Z = 7, gain to attain a noble gas configuration?arrow_forwardElement Z forms an ion Z 3+, which contains 31 protons. What is the identity of Z, and how many electrons does Z3+have?arrow_forwardFor Be-10, find the: a.) mase defect (in grams)Â b.) binding energy in kilojoules per mole. mass proton= 1.00728 amu; mass neutron= 1.00867 amu; mass Be-10 = 10.013534679 amuarrow_forward
- The elements oxygen and sulfur have similar chemical properties because they both have six electrons in their outermost electron shells. Indeed, both elements form molecules with two hydrogen atoms, water (H2O) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Surprisingly, at room temperature, water is a liquid, yet H2S is a gas, despite sulfur being much larger and heavier than oxygen. Explain why this might be the case.arrow_forwardA compound with empirical formula C2H5O was found in a separate experiment to have a molar mass of approximately 90 g. What is the molecular formula of the compound?arrow_forwardWhat if there are a different number of Neutrons? Sometimes elements have a different number of neutrons than usual, so therefore have a different atomic mass. This is what we call an Isotope (a variant form of an element which has the same number of protons but a differing number of neutrons). Sometimes we’ll see Isotopes labeled with their new mass like this: 14C = this is Carbon 14. Notice it has a different mass than what is on your periodic table The average mass of all the isotopes is defined as an element’s Atomic Weight. Can you answer questions about these Isotopes?

- (b) The first photoelectron band system of O2 (i.e. ionisation to the ground electronic state of O2) shows a limited vibrational progression, peaking at v = 1. The second photoelectron band system (i.e. ionisation to the first excited electronic state of O2) shows an extensive vibrational progression peaking at v= 8. What do these facts indicate about the nature of the two highest- occupied valence molecular orbitals of O2?arrow_forward1) Explain how g orbitals are different from s, p, d, and f atomic orbitals? Â Â Â Â - determine the number of g orbitals that will exist in a given energy level? Â Â Â Â - Â include a set of quantum numbers (n, l, and ml) for one of the g orbitals in the lowest energy set of g orbitals? Â 2) TlF3 forms a stable compound, while the similar compounds TlCl3 and TlBr3 are unstable and undergo disproportionation. Explain why the fluoro compound is more stable than the chloro and boromo compounds?arrow_forwardLook up the valence electron configuration, covalent atomic radius, effective nuclear charge, first ionization energy and Pauling electronegativity in Chapter 8 (tables are attached). Examine the above data and answer the following questions. a) Explain why some of the elements like TI and Pb on the lower left of the p block are metallic. b) Explain why some of the elements like C, Si in the center of the p block form covalent bonds. Explain why these bonds formed by the network of these elements (as studied in Chapter 25) tend to be unreactive. c) Explain why the noble Group 8A elements are highly unreactive gases. d) Explain why some elements like F, CI, Br etc, on the upper right of the p block are highly reactive nonmetals.arrow_forward
- How many electrons does a neutral Chlorine (Cl) atom have in its outermost electron shell?arrow_forwardWhat is hybridization of atomic orbitals? How does a hybrid orbital differ from a pure atomic orbital?arrow_forwardCompound A has molecular formula C7H7X. Its 1H-NMR spectrum shows a singlet at 2.25 ppm and two doublets, one at 7.28 ppm and one at 7.39 ppm. The singlet has an integral of three and the doublets each have an integral of two. The mass spectrum of A shows a peak at m/z = 126 and another peak at m/z = 128; the relative height of the two peaks is 3:1 respectively.
