Configurational atom

Thorium [7440-29-1], a naturally occurring radioactive element, atomic number 90, atomic mass 232.0381, is the second element of the actinide ( f) series (see Actinides AND transactinides Radioisotopes). Discovered in 1828 in a Norwegian mineral, thorium was first isolated in its oxide form. For the light actinide elements in the first half of the. series, there is a small energy difference between and 5/ 6d7 electronic configurations. Atomic spectra... 

Note. For simple aldoses up to aldohexoses, and ketoses up to hept-2-uloses, the anomeric reference atom and the configurational atom are the same. 

For most atomic ions, the filling order of orbitals is the same as that of neutral atoms. For example, Na, Ne, and F all contain 10 electrons, and each has the configuration. Atoms and ions that have the same...

Thioether sulfur atoms have smaller polarizabilities and are weaker donors than S (sulfhydryl) atoms, but they have fewer base-pair electrons and therefore should be better electron acceptors. Methionine generally binds d and d configuration atoms Pd(II), Pt(II), Pb(II), Ag(I), Cu(I), and Hg(II) (Dickerson etai, 1969 Freeman and Golomb, 1970 Blundell and Johnson, 1976 Sheriff elal., 1987).

The number of covalent bonds an atom forms depends both on how many valence electrons it has and on how many additional valence electrons it needs to reach a noble-gas configuration. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons form one, two, or three bonds, but atoms with four or more valence electrons form as many bonds as needed to reach an octet. Boron, for instance, has only three valence electrons (2s 2p ) and can form only three covalent bonds in a neutral molecule, as in BF3. Carbon has four valence electrons (2 2p ) and can fill its valence shell by forming four bonds, as in CH4. Nitrogen has five valence electrons (28 2p ) and needs to form only three bonds, as in NH3 oxygen has six valence electrons (2s 2p > and forms two bonds, as in H2O.

Ans. Magnesium, atomic number 12, can achieve the Ne configuration, atomic number 10, by the loss of two electrons. Fluorine requires only one electron to achieve the Ne configuration. This transfer can be effected if two fluorine atoms react with one magnesium atom ... 

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.
