Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.
This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.
However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
The molecular formula shows the exact number of molecules. Therefor, the empirical formula is the simplest formula of the molecular formula
Group 14: Carbon family has valence electrons.
I’m taking chem rn in 9th grade so I might be able to help. What’s the question?
