ground state electronic configurations

The general electronic configuration of d-block elements is (n-1) d 1-10 ns 1-2 . All the d-block elements except zinc, cadmium and mercury have partially filled d-orbitals. But, zinc, cadmium and mercury have completely filled d-orbitals and they exhibit common oxidation s..

The distribution of electrons in different orbitals is known as its electronic configuration. This characterizes each electron in an atom. The electronic configuration is expressed by indicating the principal quantum number and its r..

The elements of this group have six electrons in the outermost shell and have the general electronic configuration as ns 2 np 4..

Group 2 elements are called alkaline Earth metals. These elements have two electrons in the valence shell of their atoms, preceded by the noble gas configuration. Their general configuration is written as [Noble gas] ns 2 where 'n' represents the valence shel..

Hydrogen atom has one electron in its valence shell like alkali metal..

Both hydrogen and alkali metals have one electron each in their valence shell. For example, H (Z=1) : 1s 1 Li (Z=3) : [He] 2s ..

Atomic Properties - Electronic Configurations - The elements of group 14 have four electrons in the outermost orbitals. The general configuration may be written as ns 2 np 2 (one electron in the outermost p-orbitals and two electrons in th..
