Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
On the periodic table, the position of the given element has to be located.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Given electronic configuration,
Electron filling concepts in orbitals:
- Electrons first occupy the orbitals with lower energy than the orbitals with higher energy (Aufbau principle).
- An orbital can be occupied only by two electrons having opposite spins (Pauli exclusion principle).
- Each electron fills each orbital till it is half filled, when they are degenerate orbital (Hund’s rule).
The order of electrons filling in a multi-electron atom is given as follows,

- What two first-row transition metals have unexpected electron configurations? A statement in the text says that first-row transition metal ions do not have 4s electrons. Why not? Why do transition metal ions often have several oxidation states, whereas representative metals generally have only one?arrow_forwardWhat characteristics of the transition elements set them apart from the main-group elements?arrow_forwardPlatinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex.
