How many s and p electrons are in the element with Z=16? Explain the hybridization scheme in the following compounds. How many orbitals exist in the 4f subshell? What is the lowest numbered principal shell in which d orbitals are found? Explain the trends of the following periodic properties of the elements down a Group and across a period from left to right. What sub shells are being filled in each of the following regions of the periodic table?
Understand the Problem
The questions are focused on concepts related to chemistry, specifically electron configurations, hybridization, and periodic table trends. They require explanations and specific knowledge about atomic structure and periodic properties.
Answer
Element Z=16 has 6 s and 10 p electrons. Hybridization: NO⁻ sp; SO₂ sp²; CH₃O⁻ sp³; NH₃ sp³. 4f: 7 orbitals. First d orbitals: n=3. s, p, d subshells fill various periodic table regions.
- Element with Z=16 (Sulfur): 6 s electrons, 10 p electrons.
- Hybridization: A) NO⁻: sp, B) SO₂: sp², C) CH₃O⁻: sp³, D) NH₃: sp³.
- 4f subshell: 7 orbitals.
- Lowest principal shell for d orbitals: n=3.
- Periodic trends: Generally, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity increase across a period and decrease down a group. Atomic size decreases across a period and increases down a group.
- Subshells: Groups IA & IIA: s subshells. Transition metals: d subshells.

More Information
Sulfur (Z=16) has a ground-state electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p⁴, with 6 additional p electrons filling the 3p subshell. The 4f subshell, found in the lanthanide series, contains 7 orbitals, each capable of holding 2 electrons.
Tips
Ensure correct electron counting, especially in hybridization and filling order.
