Question

need detailed explaination

Explain these values in terms of electronic configuration. 3) Mercury and sulfur have very similar first ionisation values. Explain this observation.

Answer 1

The chants Electronic Configuration of Mercury (2=80) is shown below ₃ [Xe] 45'4 501065² → The Last election is in 's' orbital. The last electron can be removed easily in this case. The Electronic Configuration of Hat is shown below Hat [Xe] 484 sdoos' The electronic Configunation of sulphon (2=16) is shown below is es? 2p 3s 3p+ The last Electron lies in 3p orbital. It can be easily removed to give more stable half filled 3p3 Configuration. St - 1s 2s 2p 35² 3p3 (stable configuration) - Half filled orbitals are more stable than Partial filled I orbitale. Since the last election in case of sulphur can be easily lost. Hence, its first ionization energy is lesser and it is almost similar to first ionization energy
