Electron configurations based on Aufbau order of filling agree mostly with those derived experimentally, yet there are quite exc

eptions where errors in Aufbau configurations arise due to one (rarely two) misplaced electron. With the help of examples, discuss some of the limitations of Aufbau order.

1) Aufbau principle is a scheme used to reproduce the electron configurations  of the ground states of atoms by successively filling subshells with electrons in a specific  order, filling subshells in the following order: 1s, 2s,  2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f.

First exceptions to the Aufbau principle is for example chromium atom (Cr).

Chromium has atomic number 24, it means it has 24 protons and 24 electrons.

The Aufbau principle predicts the configuration  [Ar] 3d⁴ 4s².

But the correct electron configuration of chromim atom is:

₂₄Cr 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁵ 4s¹ or   [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s¹.

In chromium, half full d-sub level (3d) is more stable than a partially filled d sub-level (3d⁴), that is why an electron from the 4s orbital goes to a 3d orbital.

2) Second example is gallium atom (Ga).

Gallium has atomic number 31, it has 31 protons and 31 electrons.

The Aufbau principle predicts the configuration:

₃₁Ga 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p¹.

The correct electron configuration for gallium atom is:

₃₁Ga 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p¹.

That is because 3d subshell has lower energy, when is filled with electrons, than 4s subshell.

Valence electrons are in 4s and 4p orbitals, because when gallium loses three electrons, it has electron configuration:

₃₁Ga³⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰.

How does carbon cycle through the ocean, atmosphere, soil, and biosphere?
saw5 [17]
Carbon moves from one storage reservoir to another through a variety of mechanisms. For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. Respiration, excretion, and decomposition release the carbon back into the atmosphere or soil, continuing the cycle.
make sure to paraphrase and give thanks:) good luck

!! ANSWER QUICK !!
kari74 [83]

Answer:

I can use a dichotomous key. It helps me classify objects by sorting it out with "yes" and "no" questions.

or

I can use a Punnett Square. It helps me classify what genes the offspring will receive simply by figuring out the recessive and dominant genes as well as the hetzygous and homzygous.

Now give an example of which ever chart you choose by drawing it if that is required. For the Punnett Square label each of the squares Top right Hetzygous, top left dominant, bottom left recessive, bot-tom right homzygous. And for the dichotomous key put a 5-7 length branch showing the animals that have fur, can breathe under water, what cannot or doesn't have those traits. or something similar

Hopefully this helps :)
