electron configuration?

Question

i kno what is it, but i do not know how to write it can someone give my an example please....i need an example with 8 electrons or more

i dont know how to draw a diagram

Answer 1

Okay, so this is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. There is always a pattern, but it is hard to explain without the periodic table, and me sitting to show you. But I shall try my best...

Let's use Chlorine. It is in the the third row of the table and it has a 'p' orbital, but does not have a full shell. So go in order and fill the orbitals (it is easy to use the orbital diagrams, with the up and down orbitals as well).

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

Usually, a 'p' orbital has six, however, chlorine does not have a full orbital, so there are 5 instead of 6. And remember, that the superscripts should add up to the number of electrons in chlorine: 2+2+6+2+5=17, and chlorine has 17 electrons

You can check this if you still dont understand

Answer 2

1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6. this is the electron configuration for Ne. Oxygen 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^4. the ^ is to denote superscript. the numbers after the ^ denote how many electrons are in that specific electron shell. the numbers before the "s" and "p" denote the energy level of the electron shell. "S" electron shells can only have 2 electrons. "P" can have upto 6. "S" shells are spherical around the nucleus and "P" shells are figure-eights with the center crossing point at the nucleus. there are 3 separate figure-eights per "P" shell, one in each dimension (X,Y,Z).

Answer 3

wit 8 electrons or more take Iodine atomic no.53 electron configuration is [2.8.18,18.7] .it depens on the level of eudcation dat u r in ryt now .in elementary school your siecnce teacher would have told u all the shells can take 8 atoms at most but as u advance in learnin everything changes
