Explain why the electron configuration of 2-3-1 represents an atom in an excited state?

Chemistry
1 answer:
baherus [9]2 years ago
6 0

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.

What volume in litres will 38gr of F2 occupy at 0.999 bar and 273 K
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

V=22.68L

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the ideal gas equation to compute the volume as shown below:

PV=nRT\\\\V=\frac{nRT}{P}

Nonetheless we are given mass, for that reason we must compute the moles of gaseous fluorine (molar mass: 38 g/mol) as shown below:

n=38 g *\frac{x}{y}  \frac{1mol}{38 g} =1mol

Thus, we compute the volume with the proper ideal gas constant, R:

V=\frac{1mol*0.083\frac{bar*L}{mol*K}*273K}{0.999bar} \\\\V=22.68L

Best regards.
