The electron configuration of the 4f energy sublevel is the most stable is 4f to the 14th power. The electron configuration of outer sublevels that are most stable is 4d up to the 5.5s up to the 1st power.

∙ 11y agoA full "p" sub-level is very stable. The noble gases (with the exception of helium) have this configuration. Neon, for example, has the electron configuration 1s22s2p6. The p sub-level holds a maximum of 6, and it is therefore full. Noble gases are neither reactants nor products in typical chemical reactions because of their stability and inertness.

∙ 12y agoThe most stable electron configuration of the 4f energy sublevel is 4f7 or 4f14. In the 4f7 configuration, there would be only one electron in each of the seven orbitals and they would all have the same spin.

∙ 11y agoThe 4f sublevel has 7 orbitals, each of which can contain 2 electrons. So the maximum number of electrons in the 4f sublevel is 14.

Why is the chemistry of the transition elements less predictable than the chemistry of the main group elments?
One mut understand the sublevels of electron orbitals. There is an s, p, d, and f sublevel. Main group elments have electron is s and p sublevel. Transition metals have elecrons in the s, p, and d sublevel. One one thing to understand is that an atom wants to be stable. Stablity includes full outer shells, 1/2 full outer shells, full sublevels, 1/2 full sublevels, and no arrangement. In transition metals, there are many combinations of stability levels. This changes electron configuration in each combination, changing the chemisty.
What has a pseudo-noble-gas electron configuration?
The pseudo noble-gas electron configuration has the outer three orbitals filled, the s, p and d- s2p6d10 (18 electrons total) and so is fairly stable. Elements that attain this electron configuration are at the right side of the transition metals (d-block). Br-, I-, Se2-
Is the outer electron configuration of the Ca atom before the reaction is very stable one?
yes, Calcium (Ca) is very stable before the reaction because it has a large cloud of valence electrons.

Why is the first ionization energy of arsenic is greater than the first ionization energy of germanium because?
There's two ways to answer this question. First electron configurations with half-filled sublevels are more stable then electron configurations that don't have half-filled sublevels. Since Selenium is one elctron away from achieving a more stable half-filled sublevel configuration it more readily gives up it's outermost electron, so less energy is requires to remove the outermost electron. Arsenic already has the stable configuration of half-filled sublevel so it wouldn't give up it's electron as readily, so more energy is required to remove it. Another way to look at it is that Selenium's outermost electron is in a p orbital that already has an electron so there is electron electron repulsion present in that orbital so it's attraction to the nucleus is less which is why less energy is required to remove it so the ionization energy is less. Arsenic has it's outermost electron unpaired in the p orbital so there is no electron electron repulsion present in that orbital so more energy is required to remove it then for Selenium's outer most electron. Hope this helps!

Explain what atoms are trying to achieve in there electron shells when they bond with each outher?
Atoms are trying achieve a stable electronic configuration i.e., stable arrangement of electrons in their electron shells. All configurations are not stable. Mostly stable configuration is attained by forming an octet of electrons in outer most shell. Sometimes octet rule is violated also.
What does not have identical outer electron configuration?
halogens
What is the electron configuration on a stable ion of aluminum?
The stable ion of aluminum is Al 3+, which means it has three fewer electrons. The aluminum atom has shed its outer shell of 3s2 3p1 and has an electron configuration equal to that of Neon, or 1s2 2s2 2p6.
Electron arrangement that gives an atom stability?
An anion is an ion that has a negative charge. It is formed when valence electrons are added to the outer energy level. It is giving the ion a stable electron configuration.
