Solved: How many unpaired electrons are present in the

Solution 57P

Here, we are going to write the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these atoms from each groups and the number of unpaired electrons.

Step 1:

The ground state electron configuration is defined as the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom with lower energy levels.

The electrons present in the outermost shell is called as the valence electrons. The group number of a main-group element is equal to the number of valence electrons for that element.
