Question

Match each element with the full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion it is most likely to form. (Enter the 6 correct letters, in order: BABCEG, FBAGCC, etc.).... If you could explain what the monatomic part means I would really apreciate it, because I understand how you would do this question without that on there.

1) Cl A. 1s22s22p63s23p6 2) Rb B. 1s22s22p6 3) F C. 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s1 4) O D. 1s22s22p4 5) S E. 1s2 6) P F. 1s22s22p63s23p4 G. 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6

Explanation / Answer

(1)The electronic configuration of Cl (At.No. 17 ) is : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

On adding one electron to Cl atom we get Cl- & its configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

(2)The electronic configuration of Rb (At.No. 37 ) is : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d10 4s2 4p6 5s1

On removing one electron to Rb atom we get Rb+ & its configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d10 4s2 4p6

(3)The electronic configuration of F (At.No. 9 ) is : 1s2 2s2 2p5

On adding one electron to F atom we get F- & its configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6

(4)The electronic configuration of O (At.No. 8 ) is : 1s2 2s2 2p4

On adding one electron to O atom we get O- & its configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p5

(5)The electronic configuration of S (At.No. 16 ) is : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

On adding one electron to S atom we get S- & its configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

(6)The electronic configuration of P (At.No. 15 ) is : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3

On adding one electron to P atom we get P- & its configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

monoatomic part is the ion which is most stable than the actual element when adding or removing one electron.

The given configurations are wrong ( some one)
