I'm reviewing for my final. This is an old problem that I got correct (option a), but I can't remember how. I know that SeCl2 is AX2E2, which is sp3, but I'm stuck trying to figure out how I chose option a and not option b. How do I know the difference in the amount of arrows (e-) in the p orbital boxes? Thanks :)

Using only the periodic table and the rules we learned in class, write the ground state electronic structure of the ground state of the Zn2+ in condensed notation.Use this sample format to enter your answer: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2 (the electronic structure of Pb). The outer shell orbitals must be listed with increasing n first and increasing l second as in this example. Do not list empty orbitals. The atomic symbol of the noble gas must be typed exactly and in the correct case.

For each of the statements below, indicate whether it is true or false and explain your reasoning. (1 sentence ) 1/ It takes more energy to ionize an electron from the 2s orbital than an electron from the 2p orbital in the Li2+ ion. 2/ The electron affinity of the Ne atom is larger than the electron affinity of the F atom. 3/ K* has a larger radius than Ar. 4/ For a diatomic molecule, in which the internuclear axis is the z-axis, the 3dz? orbital cannot mix with the 2px orbital. 5/ The internuclear distance of O2 increases as it takes an additional electron to become O2".
