minus-squareSneezycatlinkfedilinkEnglish13•edit-22 days ago31 electrons if I can count, so Gallium? Although I’m pretty sure that electron configuration is made up Edit: nvm, see comment below, 47 electrons is right, been a long time since I last did chemistry :P
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•3 days agoTf guys i count 47 which is way above 31&33. How are you guys counting?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•2 days agoWhich is Ag, consistent with s1 d10 format
minus-square@TempermentalAnomalylinkEnglish3•edit-22 days agoIt’s been over 20 years, but why is 5s1 4d10 a correct representation and not 5s2 4d9? Edit: is it because d10 is more stable than d9? But then s1 is less stable than s2.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•2 days agoHalf and full filled configurations are more stable. s1 is still half filled and d10 is full filled. The net effect it better stability even if s became a little less stable
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 days agoYou’re right, according to online calcs. But man I can’t remember how to count these myself. Wanna explain for someone who didn’t have to do much chemistry?
