Study Notes
Electronic Configuration
- Electronic configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or ion in a specific pattern of energy levels or shells.
Significance of Electronic Configuration
- The electronic configuration of an atom determines its chemical properties, such as reactivity, electronegativity, and ionization energy.
- It helps to predict the chemical behavior of an element, including its ability to form bonds and react with other elements.
d Sublevel
- The d sublevel is a subshell in the atomic orbitals that can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
- The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the d sublevel in an atom is 10.
