How to write electronic configartions for higher element for example with 30 electrons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Kainui @mathslover

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you talking about using another method than orbital notation? Such as shorthand electron configuration or (even easier) noble gas notation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not noble gas , like 2,8,18 like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you using orbitals at all? 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would it be , Please tell me

OpenStudy (kainui):

Well are you familiar with electron configurations for lower elements? For instance, Lithium is \[Li: \ 1s^2 \ 2s^1\] right, you understand that yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I ask what grade you're in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just passed 10th grade and i am self learning before school

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mmkay. So if you know the configurations for lower elements, you keep following the orbitals up. They go in a specific order. 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p. S orbitals allow 2 electrons. P allows 6. D allow 10, and F allow 14. So, you continue filling the orbitals with electrons until they're full. But remember that you have to fill them individually with one spin until the orbital is full before you go back and fill in the opposite spin.

Aufabu principle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YEss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you say yeah... You mean you understand? Question answered or no?

Parth (parthkohli):

Also keep in mind Hund's Rule for Maximum Multiplicity. There are exceptions like Chromium that don't follow Aufbau's Principle.

OpenStudy (somy):

as well as copper

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, 6th and 11th groups.
