What else can I help you with?
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

A element with the electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p 2?
The element with this electron configuration is tin (Sn), which has an atomic number of 50. The electron configuration provided corresponds to the electron distribution in its various electron orbitals.
How can you tell if an atom has the same valence as carbon?
You can tell if an atom has the same valence as carbon by looking at its outermost electron configuration. Carbon has 4 valence electrons, so any atom with 4 electrons in its outer shell, like silicon, would have the same valence as carbon.
What is electron configuration and valence electrons?
Mostly they are s or p electron sub-orbitals in the same (outer) shell. In the transition metals sometimes one electron from a higher d orbital gets involved ( e.g. to reach the oxidation states Fe2+ and Fe3+).

What does the oxidation number tell you about an atom?
The oxidation number of an atom indicates the number of electrons it has gained, lost, or shared to reach a stable configuration. It provides information on an atom's electron distribution and helps predict its reactivity in chemical reactions.
What part of an atom is used to tell how one atom will bond with another atom?
Electron
What does electron configuration tell you about an element?
Electron configuration tells you how electrons are arranged in an atom's energy levels. It provides information on the number of electrons in each energy level and helps predict an element's chemical properties and reactivity. By understanding electron configuration, you can determine an element's potential to form bonds with other elements.
What can you tell about an atom that has high electron negativity?
It is an anion.
How is the number of neutrons in an atom worked out?
they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.
Does valence tell us to what extent an atom can combine?
Valence refers to the number of electrons an atom can either gain, lose, or share in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. It helps determine how an atom can combine with other atoms to form chemical bonds.
What does electron negativity tell about an atom?
It tells when an atom is in a bonded pair that it holds the shared pair of electrons closer
A element with the electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p 2?
The element with this electron configuration is tin (Sn), which has an atomic number of 50. The electron configuration provided corresponds to the electron distribution in its various electron orbitals.
What do quantum numbers tell us about the properties of an electron in an atom?
Quantum numbers provide information about the energy, position, and spin of an electron in an atom. They help us understand the arrangement of electrons in different orbitals and predict their behavior within the atom.
How can you tell if an atom has the same valence as carbon?
You can tell if an atom has the same valence as carbon by looking at its outermost electron configuration. Carbon has 4 valence electrons, so any atom with 4 electrons in its outer shell, like silicon, would have the same valence as carbon.
