Question

Write the corresponding electron configuration for the following pictorial representation. the full electron configuration (do not use the noble gas abbreviation). Name the element, assuming that the configuration describes a neutral atom.

Answer 1

Concepts and reason

The concept used to solve this problem is to write the electron configuration.

Arrangement of electrons in atomic orbitals of an atom is known as electron configuration. For example the d block elements have electronic configuration

Fundamentals

The atomic symbol notation is as follows:

Here A = mass number which is equal to the total number of protons + number of neutrons , Z= atomic number of any element which is also indicates Number of protons or number of electron in the given atom.

The charge of an ion is showed by + or – sign on the right side super script.

The given Electron configuration is as follows:

Total number of electrons is count as follows:

The total number of electron in the given atom is 35. Form the periodic table identified the element.

Ans:

Thus, the given element is bromine, which has atomic number 35. ()
