These are three questions and three complete answers
Answer:
a) Cr²⁺: [Ar] 4s² 3d²
b) Cu²⁺: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁷
c) Co³⁺: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁴
Explanation:
<u>a) Cr²⁺</u>
- Number of elecrons of the neutral atom: 24
- Number of electrons of the ion: 24 - charge = 24 - 2 = 22.
Fill the orbitals in increasing order of energy. Using Aufbau's rules the order is: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ .....
Hence, for 22 electrons you get:
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d²
- Abbreviated notation: since the last complete level is the number 3s² 3p⁶, you use the noble gas of the period 3, which is Ar, and the configuration is:
[Ar] 4s² 3d²
<u>b) Cu²⁺</u>
- Number of elecrons of the neutral atom: 29
- Number of electrons of the ion: 29 - charge = 29 - 2 = 27.
Fill the orbitals in increasing order of energy. Using Aufbau's rules the order is: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ .....
Hence, for 27 electrons you get:
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁷
- Abbreviated notation: since the last complete level is the number 3s² 3p⁶, you use the noble gas of the period 3, which is Ar, and the configuration is:
[Ar] 4s² 3d⁷
<u>c) Co³⁺</u>
- Number of elecrons of the neutral atom: 27
- Number of electrons of the ion: 27 - charge = 27 - 3 = 24.
Fill the orbitals in increasing order of energy. Using Aufbau's rules the order is: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ .....
Hence, for 24 electrons you get:
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁴
- Abbreviated notation: since the last complete level is the number 3s² 3p⁶, you use the noble gas of the period 3, which is Ar, and the configuration is:
[Ar] 4s² 3d⁴
Answer:
B
Explanation:
I don't know how to explain this but you get it
the earth will start moving tangentially to its previous orbit due to lack of centripetal force which was being provided by the sun's gravitational pull.
I hope this helps
