How to determine electron configuration with just a periodic table?
Q. How would I find the electron configuration of an element using the periodic table? Can you give me an example using I/iodine please?
Asked by Tayna H - Wed Sep 9 23:48:17 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Alright. So you have your periodic table. If you look at the element, then in the bottom right corner of the element's box, you should see some numbers (not all periodic tables have this). If the numbers were 2-4-4 that would mean there are 2 electrons In the first shell, 4 in the second and 4 in the third. Sorry, I can't do an example cause i can't find a table with electron config.

In terms of electron configuration, what are the trends of the periodic table?
Q. I need trend explained in terms of electron configuration. The trend for atomic radius across the periodic table from left to right and down a group. Same thing for ionization energy and electronegativity. I get most of the trends, but this one is really confusing. I dunno, maybe its the wording.

Laptops tend to come with about 1.6ghz duo's. You really need to be verging on the 2.0ghz duo or higher mark. Aim for: 2.0ghz duo + 2gb ram + Decent gfx 512mb + That will play some, not all.

A. You could find the address of the router using CMD prompt, open this by pressing windows key + R, type cmd, then press ok. Type in "ipconfig /all". Then search for an IP address labeled "Default Gateway" and by navigating to that address in your favourite browser. Usually you are presented with a login box, of which you should have the details.

How do I stop my monitor configuration from changing automatically on my laptop?

A. You have to set the resulting action for closing the lid to Shut down, Hibernate, or Stand by. I recommend Hibernate. You are seeing this issue, because your are hitting the automatic feature built into the laptop that if there is no power related action assigned to the lid switch, it assumes you are closing the laptop to use the laptop with an external monitor. Now, I'm sure that you are on occasion closing the laptop to use it to play music... if there is no external monitor. Your model laptop might have a BIOS setting to modify this behavior (my Toshiba does not) as well, but at this point, you should probably make a choice as to what power related action you want your laptop to follow. You would make this choice in the Advanced… [cont.]

A. The best is to self assemble it if you have a limited finance. I will only cover the important parts of your computer. I would personally recommend this configuration Processor:Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Duo (2.4 ghz processing speed) RAM: AS you're going to be doing some video editing i would recommend you get 2gb ram. Motherboard:Intel Desktop Board DG965PZ Video Card:nVidia GeForce 7600/7800/7900GT (You may want to put 2 of them in and connect them) Sound Card: Any sound card would do really. I think the price of what i ask would hover between RM5000 to 7000. Wish you Luck!

A. Well, if the requirement is the number of stars bound together by each others gravity (excluding clusters, and I'm assuming you don't want a "smarty-pants" answer like a galaxy as well), I think Six stars of the Castor system "take the prize." At least based on what we have discovered so far. Then again, our solar system is quite complex too. You have only one star, but there are eight planets orbiting it, 6 of which have satellites orbiting them... and a couple of those have over 60 satellites... and four planets have ring systems... then there are all those asteroids, comets, dwarf planets, Kupier belt objects, Oort cloud objects...

What is the line to ground voltage in a delta wire configuration?
Q. I know that for three phase, to find the line to ground voltage you have to divide the line to line voltage by the sqrt of 3. Does the same apply for a delta wire configuration?
Asked by electrical2601 - Thu Jul 13 15:14:00 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. That depends. There are 3 different delta configurations used for services from power companies in the US. If it is ungrounded, then there is no fixed voltage, but the phase to ground voltage is considered to be the same as line to line for insulation and the like. Ground fault detectors are needed to detect if a ground fault occurs. Another option is a corner grounded delta, where one of the 3 phase conductors is grounded. The voltage to ground of the other 2 phases is then the line to line voltage. Another option, used to be more common (our local power company does not do this for new services) is a hi leg delta or center of one phase grounded. This grounds the center of one phase like a single phase split phase service. For… [cont.]

Asked by nutlovee - Tue Jan 20 21:32:56 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Don't panic. Electron configuration is the pattern in which all of the electrons of the atom orbit the nucleus. The electron configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3. This means it has the same electron configuration as a xenon atom, plus full 4f, 5d, and 6s orbitals. It also has 3 electrons in the 6p orbital. Read up on orbitals in your chemistry text. The valence shell is the number of electrons in the outermost shell (in this case n = 6, so 2+3 = 5 valence electrons). Only s and p electrons count toward filling the valence shell. As for isotopes, there are as many isotopes as there are different possible numbers of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. There are 59 known radioisotopes (produced from nuclear reactions, but don't… [cont.]

A. Let's take the element Sodium, which is Na in the periodic table. (look at periodic table!) the atomic number of Sodium (the lower number) is the number we will be using. I have no idea what class you are, but lower grades have the simple electron configiration: 2)8)1 -The first shell can only carry 2 electrons, then you move to the next shell. -The second, third, fourth, fifth... can carry up to 8 electrons. Each bracket represents a new shell. So in the Sodium element, there are three shells surrounding its nucleus. The addition of the number must equal to 11, or else there's something wrong. 2+8+1 = 11, so it must be true. If you noticed, in the outermost shell of Na, there is only one electron.

A. 1. Before manually placing the iPod into Disk Mode you should verify that it has a charge, if not you need to either charge iPod before continuing or connect it to power. You can either connect it to a high-powered USB port, or plug the iPod Power Adapter into an electrical outlet and connect iPod to the power adapter. 2. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.) 3. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears. 4. When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.

Q. The electron configuration is: 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 4s^2, 3d^10, 4p^4 . It has 6 valence electrons. Nonetheless, the valence shell is 4, and the highest number of electrons on one of the valence shell ones is 4 electrons, so how does it have 6?
Asked by hmm - Sat Dec 13 18:00:58 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The valence electrons are located in the highest energy level. In this case, the highest energy level is 4 and it includes the sublevels 4s and 4p. So, the number of valence electrons is the sum of the electrons in 4s and 4p.

How do you find the Noble gas core configuration for any element on the periodic table?
Q. For honors chemistry, I have to fill out the entire periodic table showing the core electron configuration for each element. I was doing fine until I got to the 6th row, and the rare earth metals at the bottom. Now I am thoroughly confused. Please help!
Asked by Sarah O - Mon Jan 12 00:15:17 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Noble gases will have full outer valence electron shells. Each element in the table adds one additional electron, and the total number of electrons written in the electron configuration should match its atomic number. In general, the orbitals fill in this order 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f 6d 7p Remember the maximum number of electrons in each type of orbital is s=2 p=6 d=10 f=14 The first few rows follow the rules very well, but there are more and more exceptions as you move down the table. You should be able to follow the same pattern to write them out in theory, but most professors won't dwell on the electron configurations for the rare earth metals.
