Chapter 13 Review

1. If an atom in the ground state has its highest energy electron in the 4s orbital what is (are) the possible atomic number(s) of the atom?

2 . If the atom in the ground state has its highest energy electron in a 4p orbital what is (are) the possible atomic number(s) of the atom?

3 . What would be the electron configuration for an atom of sulfur (Z=16) having all the valence electrons in an excited state of n=4?

4 . What would be the ground state electron configuration for an atom of nickel (Z=28)? (Remember the overlapping of the 3rd and 4th energy levels.)

5 . Summarize the information provided by quantum theory about the electron’s location. How does this information differ from the Bohr model?
