Electrons don't have colour
what is the color of scandium?
Scandium has 1 3d electron.
The electron configuration of scandium (Sc) is Ar 3d1 4s2.
The noble gas electron configuration of scandium is [Ar] 4s2 3d1. Scandium has 21 electrons, and the noble gas configuration represents the nearest noble gas to scandium, which is argon with 18 electrons.
The element with one 3d electron is manganese (Mn), which has the electron configuration [Ar] 3d^5 4s^2.
Scandium (Sc) has an atomic number of 21, which means it has 21 electrons. Its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d¹ 4s². In this configuration, there is one unpaired electron in the 3d subshell, as the 4s subshell is fully paired. Therefore, scandium has one unpaired electron.
The electron configuration for scandium is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^1. Therefore, the three highest-energy electrons in scandium are in the 3d orbital, and the electron notation for these three electrons is 3d^1.
The statement that an atom of the element scandium has only one electron is incorrect.
It has 4 shells.
The noble gas notation of scandium is [Ar] 3d1 4s2, where [Ar] represents the electron configuration of the noble gas argon. Scandium has 21 electrons, with the electron configuration of [Ar] 3d1 4s2.
It is [Ar] 3d1 4s2
No, scandium is not an alkali metal. It is actually classified as a transition metal due to its electron configuration and position on the periodic table.
