Curium ground state electronic configuration

Early in the actinide series, electrons in the 6d orbitals are lower in energy than there is 5f orbitals, This is clear from the ground-state electronic configurations (Table 9.3) of the atoms, which show that the 6d orbitals are filled before 5f. The 5f orbitals are starting to be filled at protoactinium, and with the exception of curium, the fid orbitals are not occupied again. [Pg.150]

Nobelium is a member of the actinide series of elements. The ground state electron configuration is assumed to be (Rn)5fl47s2, by analogy with the equivalent lanthanide element ytterbium ([Kr]4fl46s2) there has never been enough nobelium made to experimentally verify the electronic configuration. Unlike the other actinide elements and the lanthanide elements, nobelium is most stable in solution as the dipositive cation No ". Consequently its chemistry resembles that of the much less chemically stable dipositive lanthanide cations or the common chemistry of the alkaline earth elements. When oxidized to No, nobelium follows the well-estabhshed chemistry of the stable, tripositive rare earth elements and of the other tripositive actinide elements (e.g., americium and curium), see also Actinium Berkelium Einsteinium Fermium Lawrencium Mendele-vium Neptunium Plutonium Protactinium Ruthereordium Thorium Uranium. [Pg.854]

A phenomenological model based on crystal structure, metallic radius, melting point, and enthalpy of sublimation has been used to arrive at the electronic configuration of berkelium metal [140]. An energy difference of 0.92 eV was calculated between the 5f 7s ground state and the 5f 6d 7s first excited state. The enthalpy of sublimation of trivalent Bk metal was calculated to be 2.99 eV (288 kJmol ), reflecting the fact that berkelium metal is more volatile than curium metal. It was also concluded that the metallic valence of the face-centered cubic form of berkelium metal is less than that of the double hexagonal close-packed modification [140]. [Pg.128]
