Question

Using spectroscopic notation write the complete electron configuration for the fluorine atom. Using noble gas notation write the electron configuration for the carbon atom.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The spectroscopic notation involves writing out the full electron configuration for the element.

Flourine has atomic number of 9.

The electronic configuration is given as; 1s2 2s2 2p5

The noble gas notation has the format;

[noble gas]electrons where the noble gas is the nearest one that occurs before the element.

The nearest electron before carbon is Helium.

The notation is given as;

[He]2s2 2p2
