As an example, consider methane. If the carbon atom L-shell orbitals are arranged as tetrahedral hybrids, we can take the tat, t td configuration and combine this with an 3aSbScSd configuration of the four hydrogen atoms. Table 1 shows some numbers of states associated with these orbitals. It is... 

Apart from the lanthanide and actinide trifluorides all of the transition-metal trifluoride structures known show the metal atom to be six-co-ordinated in fluorine. Indeed in only one other case, that of manganese tri-fluoride, is there an appreciable distortion from octahedral symmetry. The distortions may be correlated with the electronic configurations of the metal atoms. Table 4 shows that, in the first transition series tri-... 

The efficiency of this hyperconjugation must depend essentially on the geometric configuration of the LEPs of the N(l ) and 0 atoms and the Cspi[O-0 and Cspin,-N(l ) bonds, on the one hand, and on the electronic state ofthe N and 0 atoms, on the other hand. In all of the SPs studied, the spiro center has a sterically strained structure. Because of the rigidity of the tetrahedral structure of the spiro center and the similar conformation of the indoline ring, the Cspiro—O bond makes an angle (t) of 165-171° with the LEP of the N(l) atom (Table 1). 

There is a marked periodicity in the electronic configuration of the elements and this is the underlying idea of the periodic table (see Chapter 1). As the chemical properties of the atoms are determined by their electron configuration, atoms with similar electron configurations will have similar chemical properties.

Most of the configurations in Table 8.1 can be explained in terms of the building-up principle (or Aufbau principle), a scheme used to reproduce the electron configurations of the ground states of atoms by successively filling subshells with electrons in a specific order (the building-up order). Following this principle, you obtain the... 

Now you can see how to reproduce the electron configurations of Table 8.1 using the building-up principle. Remember that the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals the atomic number Z. (The nuclear charge is +Z.) In the case of the simplest...
