Answer : The electron configurations consistent with this fact is, (b) [Kr] 4d¹⁰
Explanation :
Electronic configuration : It is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Number of electrons in an atom are determined by the electronic configuration.
Paramagnetic compounds : They have unpaired electrons.
Diamagnetic compounds : They have no unpaired electrons that means all are paired.
The given electron configurations of Palladium are:
(a) [Kr] 5s²4d⁸
In this, there are 2 electrons in 's' orbital and 8 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that 's' orbital are paired but 'd' orbital are not paired. So, this configuration shows paramagnetic.
(b) [Kr] 4d¹⁰
In this, there are 10 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that electrons in 'd' orbital are paired. So, this configuration shows diamagnetic.
(c) [Kr] 5s¹4d⁹
In this, there are 1 electron in 's' orbital and 9 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that 's' orbital and 'd' orbital are not paired. So, this configuration shows paramagnetic.
Answer:
a. fluorine
Explanation:
Fluorine is the element of group 17 and period 2. The electronic configuration of the element is .
Stable oxidation state = -1 of fluorine as it gains one electron to gain noble gas configuration.
With alkali metals, which have oxidation state of +1 form ionic compound of the form, MX where X is F.
Among the halogens, fluorine forms the most stable halide because of the comparable size of the hydrogen and fluorine. Thus, it is the weakest acid when compared with other hydrogen halides.
Fluorine is the most reactive in the halogen series and thus, combines with most of the elements.
Fluorine forms inter-halogen compounds of form XA only. Example - ClF.
Hence, option a is correct.
Answer:
Explanation:
You can look at the periodic table and figure out the electron config.
