In which orbitals would the valence electrons for selenium (Se) be placed?

Selenium falls in the same column with oxygen therefore it has the same number of valence electrons with oxygen which is 6. It fills the 3d orbital but only 4s and 4p are counted. The electronic configuration is [Ar]3d^10 4s^2.

Selenium falls in the same column with oxygen therefore it has the same number of valence electrons with oxygen which is 6. It fills the 3d orbital but only 4s and 4p are counted. The electronic configuration is [Ar]3d^10 4s^2

Explanation:

Selenium has 6 valence electrons, two of which are placed in the S orbital and 4 of which are placed in the P orbital. In its electron structure, it is quite comparable to oxygen.

At the first energy level, the only orbital accessible to electrons is the 1s orbital, but at the next level, as well as a 2s orbital, there are 2p orbitals. A p orbital is formed like 2 identical balloons tied commonly at the nucleus. The orbital shows where there is a 95% chance of getting a critical electron.

Can anyone give me the name of these? 40 points. Hope it's not too much

1. 5 ethyl, 2 methyl octane
2. 1 ethyl, 2 methyl cyclopentane
3. 3,3,5,5- tetrafluoro heptane
4. 3,4-dimethyl hexene
5. 3,4-dimethyl cyclobutene
6. 3,5 diisopropyl cyclohexene
7. 3,3,4 trimethyl pentyne
8. 2,6 dibromo phenol

keep in mind that between 4-7, there could be #1 in front of the main name. for example with #4: 3,4-dimethyl-1- hexene. this honestly depends on the professor how he/she likes it. It is not necessary because if the number is not specified, it is assumed is #1

Maurinko [17]
Barium has a 2+ charge as it is in group 2 in the periodic table and so it has two electrons in its outer shell and chloride has a -1 charge on its chloride ion. So we will need two of the chloride ions as we have a 2+ charge to match the amount of charge on one barium ion- forming barium ion
