Answers:
(a) 1s² 2s²2p³; (b) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²; (c) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to solve this problem is to add electrons to the orbitals one-by-one until you have added the required amount.
Fill the subshells in the order listed in the diagram below. Remember that an s subshell can hold two electrons, while a p subshell can hold six, and a d subshell can hold ten.
(a) <em>Seven electrons
</em>
1s² 2s²2p³
There are two electrons in the 2s subshell and three in the 2p subshell. The remaining two electrons are in the inner 1s subshell.
(b) <em>22 electrons
</em>
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²
There are two electrons in the 4s subshell and two in the 2p subshell. The remaining 18 electrons are in the inner subshells.
(c) <em>17 electrons</em>
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵
There are two electrons in the 3s subshell and five in the 2p subshell. The remaining 10 electrons are in the inner subshells.
The statement that is NOT a part
of John Dalton's atomic theory Electrons move in specific orbits around the
nucleus of an atom. The statements ‘All elements are composed of atoms that
cannot be divided’, ‘All atoms of the same element are exactly alike and have
the same mass’ and ‘Every compound is composed of atoms of different elements,
combined in a specific ratio’ are not his theory.
Answer:
If you change the number of neutrons somehow, nothing will happen because it carry's no charge at all.
