Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8B.3ST
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The ground state electronic configuration of magnesium atom has to be identified.
Concept-Introduction:
Aufbau principle:
- Electrons first occupy orbitals with lower energy than higher energy.
- An orbital can be occupied only by two electrons having opposite spins.
- Each electron fills each orbital till it is half filled. Greater the number of parallel spins of electrons more stable the orbital. This is known as Hund’s rule.
- The order of electrons filling in an atom is given as
