"What oxidation states are possible for cobalt? Use the electron configuration of cobalt to explain which ions are formed."
I know cobalt typically has a 2+ and 3+ state but I don't know how to use the electron configuration to explain why.
first write the electronic configuration of the cobalt
and then from the valence electrons it shows the two oxidation
states by removing the electrons in the valence shell and they are
as follows

7. Iron has two common oxidation states: Fe(II) and Fe(III). Use the electron configuration of Fe to explain this in 1-2 sentences.
What is the oxidation states of cobalt in each of the following and include dn electronic configuration for these compouds: 1) [Co(H2O)6]2+ 2) [Co(NH3)6]2+ 3) CoCl3.5NH3 4) CoCl2.6H2O
Give the electron configuration and the term symbol corresponding to the diatomic molecule (CN). If more than one electronic state can arise for this particular electron configuration, rank the electronic states in order from lowest to highest energy. You do not have to assign +/- symmetry for any of the Σ electronic states you find. I know the answer is Λ = 0, S = 1/2 and so 2Σ for CN, but I don't understand why Λ is 0 and...
Part A What is the ground-state electron configuration of a neutral atom of cobalt? Express your answer in condensed form, in order of increasing orbital energy. For example, Hej2s22p2 would be entered as Hel2s 22p 2 View Avallable Hint(s) Review l Constants l Periodic Table The electron configuration of an atom tells us how many electrons are in each orbital. For example, helium has two electrons in the 1s orbital. Therefore the electron configuration of He is 1s Submit Previous...
10. Which of the following orbital diagrams are not possible for a ground state electron configuration? Explain why? ls 2s b. l s 2s 2p 1s 2s d. ls ls 2s Page 4 of 6
Explain why the highest oxidation state for group 14 (IVA), +4, is exclusively observed for carbon but hard to stabilize for lead, which has +2 as its most stable oxidation state. When formulating your answer, also consider what oxidation states are typically exhibited by silicon, germanium and tin.
Consider Fe^2+, Fe^3+, and Zn^2+: a. Write the electron configuration for each ion. b. Explain why zinc, unlike iron, is unlikely to have additional oxidation states, such as Zn^+ or Zn^3+. 5.
