What is common to the electronic configuration of Li and K Be and Ca O and O?

Li, Be, O: the first term in the abridged electron configuration is [He]. Ca, K: the first term in the abridged electron configuration is [Ar].


What noble gas has the same electronic configuration as fluorine?

K+ and argon have the same electron configuration


How do you arrange in order of increasing size S2- Cl- K plus Ca2 plus now arrange them in order of increasing ionization energy what is the electron configuration of each?

is electronic all have electronic config of {Ar} size Ca^2+^<k+<Cl-<s2-< IE S2-<CL-<K+<CA2+


How many valence electron do Li and K have?

They each have 1.


What is used to determine the electronic configuration of elements?

The electronic configuration of elements is determined by the energy shells k, l , m, n and so on. K is the first shell L is the second shell and so on. A shell can accommodate 2(n*n) no. of electrons where n is the no. of the shell so the first shell K can accommodate 2(1*1) electrons that is 2 electrons. The atomic no. that is the no. of protons in an atom of the element needs to be known first then as we know that protons are equal in no. to the electrons we will put 2 in K shell 8 in L shell 8 in M shell 2 in N shell then again come back to M shell and fill it to its capacity that is 2(3*3)=18 . By this way you may be able to find the configuration of the first 30 elements easily which will cover up most of the common elements found in chemical reactions.

Is k more likely to form a compound with li or br?

Both Li and K lose electrons to get noble gas configuration. Br gains an electron to get noble gas configuration. So K is more likely to form a compound with Br.Potassium is a metal in group 1. It usually forms ionic compounds with other non metallic elements. From these elements, it is more likely to bond with bromine. Recall that lithium is as in the same family as potassium.
