What are the full and abbreviated electron
configurations for the following elements. Be sure to explain how you
arrived at this configuration. Explain it to me--don't just give me
the configuration.
a) Arsenic
b) Tungsten
a)
Arsenic: Atomic
number of Arsenic is 33,
Full
Electronic Configuration : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p3
So total
electrons in the first, second , third and fourth subshells are 2,,8,18,5,
which means it has 5 valence shells.
Abbreviated
Electronic Configuration :
As the nearest noble gas is Argon (Stable), the abbreviated electronic
configuration can be given as : [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p3
b)
Tungsten:
Atomic number of Tungsten is 74,
Full
Electronic Configuration : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 4f14 5s2 5p6 5d4 6s2
So total
electrons in the first, second , third, fourth, fifth and sixth
subshells are 2,,8,18,32,12 and 2 which means it has 2 valence
shells.
Abbreviated
Electronic Configuration :
As the nearest noble gas is Xenon (Stable), the abbreviated electronic
configuration can be given as : [Xe] 4f14 5d4 6s2
Model
Short Answer: chapter 9
