Explanations:- Part 1: We could count the total number of electrons by looking at the electron configurations. Both of these electrons configurations have 47 electrons. If we look at the periodic table then 47 is the atomic number of silver. So, the name of the element is silver and its represented as Ag.
Part 2: As per the rule, Completely filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. First electron configuration has 9 electrons in 4d and we know that d is more stable if it has 5 electrons(half filled) or it has 10 electrons(full filled).
For stability reasons, one of the electron from 5s goes to 4d and for this reason the second electron configuration is found most often in nature for silver.
Few other examples are Cr and Cu.
Answer:
chlorine dioxide is empirical formula for CLO2.
Atomic number of C is 6. Hence, there are 6 electrons in carbon.
The electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2, 2s2, 2p2
Here, there are 2 unpaired electron. However, C2+ ions have 2 electrons less as compared to C.
Hence, electronic configuration of C 2+ ion is 1s2, 2s2. All the electrons are paired in this system. So there are no unpaired electrons in C 2+ ion.
