Reactant molecules are any substance that goes into a reaction. When forming product molecules, the reactant molecules combine and create a new molecule (i.e. the combination of methane and oxygen can make carbon dioxide and water).
Answers:
(a) 1s² 2s²2p³; (b) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²; (c) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to solve this problem is to add electrons to the orbitals one-by-one until you have added the required amount.
Fill the subshells in the order listed in the diagram below. Remember that an s subshell can hold two electrons, while a p subshell can hold six, and a d subshell can hold ten.
(a) <em>Seven electrons
</em>
1s² 2s²2p³
There are two electrons in the 2s subshell and three in the 2p subshell. The remaining two electrons are in the inner 1s subshell.
(b) <em>22 electrons
</em>
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²
There are two electrons in the 4s subshell and two in the 2p subshell. The remaining 18 electrons are in the inner subshells.
(c) <em>17 electrons</em>
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵
There are two electrons in the 3s subshell and five in the 2p subshell. The remaining 10 electrons are in the inner subshells.
