Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

 Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

  • Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

        1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

                p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

  Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

 The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³

OverLord2011 [107]

In the given situation, the reaction is-

NO + H2 ↔ Products

The rate of the reaction can be expressed (in terms of the decrease in the concentration of the reactants) as-

Rate = -dΔ[NO]/dt = -dΔ[H2]/dt

Now, if the concentration of NO is decreased there will be fewer molecules of the reactant NO which would decrease the its collision with H2. As a result the rate of the forward reaction would also decrease.

Ans) A decrease in the concentration of nitrogen monoxide decreases the collisions between NO and H2 molecules. the rate of the forward reaction then decreases.
