It is the electron configuration of a neutral, not excited atom.
when something is in the ground^No. That is totally incorrect.Basically, a ground state electron is when the atom/element is not being surged through with heat or electricity. Basically, it's the atom's normal electron configuration. So NA [Sodium]'s ground state would be shown as : 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.The opposite is when it's in it's excited state. You can remember tell when an atom is in it's excited state when in the electron configuration, there is a huge jump, like 1s2,2s2,2p5, 3s2. This might have happened due to being exposed to heat and or electricity.In other words, ground state=normal, excited is, well, excited. XD
Hydrogen electron configuration will be 1s1.
No, It is due to the fact that without energy an electron can not go to excited state.
The ground state electron configuration for nitrogen is [He]2s2.2p3.
ground state
The groundstate for Sodium (11-Na) is: 1S2 , 2S2, 2P6, 3S1 If you count the ^powers you notice it'll sum to 11, when Sodium is excited the outermost electron (3S1) will be excited from the 3S shell to the next shell up which is the 3P shell. The "core" electron configuration doesn't change so the first excited state is simply: 1S2 , 2S2, 2P6, 3P1 For the next excited state the electron that is now in the 3P shell will transition to the 4S shell before the 3D shell
The electron configuration of calcium is [Ar]4s2.
[Ar],4s2,3d9
The most likely electron configuration for a sodium ion in its ground state is 1s22s22p63s1.
1s2 2s2 2p6
It depends on the atom. For example, the electron configuration of an atom of boron in the ground state is 2-3. In the excited state, it would be 2-2-1. For an atom of chlorine, the ground state configuration is 2-8-7. The excited state would be 2-8-6-1. When an atom enters the excited state, an electron moves up to a higher energy level and releases energy. An electron in the excited state is not stable until it returns to ground state.
The ground state electron configuration for sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
1s2 2s1 2p3 3s1
It is the electron configuration of a neutral, not excited atom.
The electron configuration for an O2- ion is 1s22s22p6 just like the noble gas neon.
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 3p1
