Write the condensed ground state electronic configuration for iodine, manganese, and barium. 

Even though there are several exceptions, in general, the condensed ground-state electron configuration for the elements in each r/-block series is... 

Problems with colored numbers are answered in Appendix E. Sections match the text and provide the numbers of relevant sarnie problems. Bracketed problems are grouped in pairs (indicated ly a short rule) that cover the same concept. Comprehensive Problems are based on material from any section or previous chapter. Note In these problems, the term electron configuration refers to the condensed, ground-state electron configuration.

Theoretical studies of the properties of the individual components of nanocat-alytic systems (including metal nanoclusters, finite or extended supporting substrates, and molecular reactants and products), and of their assemblies (that is, a metal cluster anchored to the surface of a solid support material with molecular reactants adsorbed on either the cluster, the support surface, or both), employ an arsenal of diverse theoretical methodologies and techniques for a recent perspective article about computations in materials science and condensed matter studies [254], These theoretical tools include quantum mechanical electronic structure calculations coupled with structural optimizations (that is, determination of equilibrium, ground state nuclear configurations), searches for reaction pathways and microscopic reaction mechanisms, ab initio investigations of the dynamics of adsorption and reactive processes, statistical mechanical techniques (quantum, semiclassical, and classical) for determination of reaction rates, and evaluation of probabilities for reactive encounters between adsorbed reactants using kinetic equation for multiparticle adsorption, surface diffusion, and collisions between mobile adsorbed species, as well as explorations of spatiotemporal distributions of reactants and products. 

There are six ground state electronic configurations for main-group elements given below. Identify the valence electrons in each and then group them in pairs that would be expected to have similar chemical properties. Hint Rewrite each as a condensed electronic configuration. 

Dioxygen is a colourless gas, but condenses to a pale blue liquid or solid. Its bonding was described in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. In all phases, it is paramagnetic with a triplet ground state, i.e. the two unpaired electrons have the same spin, with the valence electron configuration being ...
