Electron configuration deals with the electrons present in an element, to find out the electron on each element it is the same as their element number.

The electron configuration follows a pattern. 1s2 2p2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10

4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2.

each orbital corresponds to a sublevel. a sublevel is a number at the last part of "1s2 <------" which is 2.

s= 2

p=6

d=10

f=14

These describes how much electron it can only hold. it can be less than the sublevel but not more than it.

EX: P (phosphorus) (element # 15)

ELECTRON CONFIG:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3 = P (phosphorus) #15

if you add all the last numbers of each sublevel it would result to 15.

Which type of bond is form by boron and why?

Boron typically forms covalent bonds due to its electron configuration. This means that boron atoms share electrons with other atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons to fill their outer electron shells and achieve a stable configuration.

State the importance of the noble-gas electron configuration in the formation of ions?

Chemical properties depend on electron configuration. By either gaining or losing electrons, an atom changes its electron configuration and therefore its chemical properties also change.The atoms of an element will react to achieve a noble-gas configuration. The atoms will either gain or lose electrons to achieve such a configuration.


What is is the reason that atoms bond with other atoms?

To gain electronic stability (i.e. stability with respect to their electron configuration)
