QUESTION:
Many-Electron Atoms and Electron Configurations (Sections)
The following electron configurations represent excited states. Identify the element and write its ground-state condensed electron configuration, (a) , (b) (c)
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
Distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule into their atomic or molecular orbitals is called electronic configuration. In an excited state, electrons can be transferred into different orbitals, electrons are not present in the lowest possible energy levels.
