Question

Ni

Express your answer in condensed form in the order of orbital filling as a string without blank space between orbitals. For example, [He]2s22p2 should be entered as [He]2s^22p^2.

Answer 1

[Ar] 4s^23d^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

[Ar]3d^84s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we are asked to write the condensed form of electronic configuration of nickel, Ni.

To do this, we simply write the symbol of the noble gas element before Ni in a squared bracket followed by the remaining electrons to make up the atomic number of Ni.

This is illustrated below:

The atomic number of Ni is 28.

The noble gas before Ni is Argon, Ar.

Therefore, the condensed electronic configuration of Ni is written as:

Ni(28) => [Ar]3d^84s^2
