The advantage of using an orbital notation is that it shows the electron distribution in shells. 

<span>Dot structures only show the valence electrons of an atom which are the electrons found at the outermost shell. The orbital notation gives a more detailed depiction of the electrons in each shell. This is most advantageous for atoms that have special cases. </span>

<span>Some examples of atoms that have special electronic configurations are copper and chromium. For example, copper is more stable when the 3d subshell is completely filled. This leaves the 4s subshell with only 1 electron. Chromium is also more stable when its s and d subshells are only half full. The orbital notation depicts these special cases, whereas the dot structure does not.</span>

Answer:

2H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq)  +  OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

The autoionization of water is defined as a chemical reaction where there is an equilibrium in which two water molecules react producing an hydronium ion and a hydroxide ion. This is also defined as the autoprotolysis of water, and is based on its amphoteric nature.

The substance that can donate protons as well as receive them is defined as amphoteric. In this way, the water behaves amphoteric as it donates a proton as an acid of Brownsted Lowry or if it receives a proton, being a base.

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄ + OH⁻               Kb

In this case, water behaves as an acid, it donates the proton to ammonia (a base)

CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺              Ka

For this case, water behaves as a base, it recieves the proton from the acetic acid (acid)
