Write the electron configuration using sub shells of the following;

Ne, Fe, Ca2+, Ga,Kr

1 answer

Sure! Here are the electron configurations for each of the elements you mentioned, written in terms of their subshells:

  1. Neon (Ne):

    • Atomic number = 10
    • Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
  2. Iron (Fe):

    • Atomic number = 26
    • Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁶
  3. Calcium ion (Ca²⁺):

    • Atomic number of calcium = 20. When it loses 2 electrons, it typically loses them from the 4s subshell.
    • Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁰ 4s⁰ (or simply, [Ar], where [Ar] represents the noble gas configuration of argon)
  4. Gallium (Ga):

    • Atomic number = 31
    • Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p¹
  5. Krypton (Kr):

    • Atomic number = 36
    • Electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶
