What is the ground state electronic configuration of a neutral atom of element X?
It is the electron configuration of a neutral, not excited atom.
When you say an electron is in its ground state what does that mean?
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
What are the Electron Configuration of hydrogen?
Hydrogen electron configuration will be 1s1.
Can an electron stay in an excited state without outside energy?
No, It is due to the fact that without energy an electron can not go to excited state.
What is the ground state electron configuration for nitrogen?
The ground state electron configuration for nitrogen is [He]2s2.2p3.
What is the electron configuration of calcium in its excited state?
The electron configuration of calcium is [Ar]4s2.
What is the electron configuration of aluminum in the excited state?
Indeterminate. There are an infinite number of possible excited states.
Is the electron configuration of sodium an excited state or ground state?
ground state
What is the electron configuration of copper at excited state?
[Ar],4s2,3d9
The electron configuration for a Sulfur atom in the excited state?
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.
What is the electron configuration of nitrogen in its excited state?
1s2 2s1 2p3 3s1
What is the ground state electronic configuration of a neutral atom of element X?
It is the electron configuration of a neutral, not excited atom.
What is the lowest energy excited state electron configuration of O2?
The electron configuration for an O2- ion is 1s22s22p6 just like the noble gas neon.
What is the electron configuration for a magnesium atom in the excited state?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 3p1
What is the electron configuration of Sulfur in the excited state?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3 4s1
Electron configuration for sodium in the excited 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
