Niobium (Nb; Z = 41) has an anomalous ground-state electron configuration for a Group 5B(5) element: [Kr] 5s¹4d⁴. What is the ex

pected electron configuration for elements in this group? Draw partial orbital diagrams to show how paramagnetic measurements could support niobium’s actual configuration.

Answer:

Explanation:

Niobium has an anomalous ground-state electron configuration for a Group 5 element: [Kr] 5s¹4d⁴ . IT is anomalous because in normal course , it should have been [Kr] 5s²4d³ Or [Kr] 5s⁰4d⁵ . It is so because 5s subshell

has lesser energy than 4d subshell ,  or half filled 4d subshell is more stable. But the stable configuration is [Kr] 5s¹4d⁴ . It is so because the energy gap between 5s and 4d is very little. So one electron of 5s² gets Transferred to 4d subshell.  This paramagnetic behavior is confirmed by its dipole moment , equivalent to 5 unpaired electrons.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

\huge\boxed{\text{London / Van de Waals}}

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>\huge\textbf{Van de Waals}</h2>

London Dispersion force or Van de waals force is a temporary attractive force which are the weakest and occur between nonpolar noble gases and same charges. This force is weaker because they have more electrons that are farther from the nucleus and are able to move around easier.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>\huge\textbf{Dipole-Dipole}</h2>

Dipole force is present between the polar molecules. Polar molecules are those molecules which have slightly negative and slightly positive charge. Dipole-dipole forces are attractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>\huge\textbf{Hydrogen Bonds}</h2>

It is a special type of dipole force present between polar molecules, it is formed between Hydrogen atom which forms positive ion, and the other negative ion. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom. The hydrogen bond is one of the strongest intermolecular attractions, but weaker than a covalent or an ionic bond.
