Decarboxylation of sahcyhc acid takes place with slow heating because of the presence of the electronic configuration of the carboxyl group ortho to the hydroxyl group, but does not occur in the other isomers of hydroxyben2oic acid. On rapid heating, sahcyhc acid sublimes because of its low vapor pressure. This property allows commercial separation from the other isomers as a means of purification analogous to distillation. The differences ia the vapor pressures are shown ia Table 4. 

Tellurium [13494-80-9] Te, at no. 52, at wt 127.61, is a member of the sixth main group. Group 16 (VIA) of the Periodic Table, located between selenium and polonium. Tellurium is in the fifth row of the Table, between antimony and iodine, and has an outer electron configuration of The four inner... 

The chemistry of Cr(III) in aqueous solution is coordination chemistry (see Coordination compounds). It is dominated by the formation of kineticaHy inert, octahedral complexes. The bonding can be described by Ss]] hybridization, and HteraHy thousands of complexes have been prepared. The kinetic inertness results from the electronic configuration of the Cr ion (41). This type of orbital charge distribution makes ligand displacement and... 

In general, octahedral complexes of transition-metal ions possessing 0, 1, or 2 electrons beyond the electronic configuration of the preceding noble gas, ie, i/, (P configurations, are labile. The (P systems are usually inert the relative lability of vanadium(II) may be charge and/or redox related. 

There is no single best form of the periodic table since the choice depends on the purpose for which the table is used. Some forms emphasize chemical relations and valence, whereas others stress the electronic configuration of the elements or the dependence of the periods on the shells and subshells of the atomic structure. The most convenient form for our purpose is the so-called long form with separate panels for the lanthanide and actinide elements (see inside front cover). There has been a lively debate during the past decade as to the best numbering system to be used for the individual...

Figure 27.7 The splitting of d orbitals in fields of different symmetries, and the resulting electronic configurations of the Ni" d ion.

The electronic configurations of the free atoms are determined only with difficulty because of the complexity of their atomic spectra, but it is generally agreed that they are nearly all [Xe]4f 5d 6s. The exceptions are ... 

Here the a, are the LCAO coefficients, which have to be determined. The formulation of HF theory where we use the LCAO approximation is usually attributed to Roothaan (1951a). His formulation applies only to electronic configurations of the type 1/ 3,...,. Following the discussion of Chapter 5, the charge... 

In those few cases where hydration and pseudobase formation parallel each other, the agreement can be traced to the fortuitous circumstance that the structure and electronic configuration of the molecule permit both phenomena to occur simultaneously. Quin-azoline-3-methochloride, one of these rare examples, is discussed in Section III,C, 1. 

Find the electron configurations of the sulfur and iron atoms. 

SOLUTION The sulfur atom has atomic number 16, so there are 16e. Two electrons go into the Is sublevel, two into the 2s sublevel, and six into the 2p sublevel Two more go into the 3s sublevel, and the remaining four go into the 3p sublevel. The electron configuration of the S atom is... 

Strategy First obtain the electron configuration of the corresponding atom, as in Section 6.5. Then add or remove electrons from sublevels of highest n. 

It is possible to explain these trends in terms of the electron configurations of the corresponding atoms. Consider first the increase in radius observed as we move down the table, let us say among the alkali metals (Group 1). All these elements have a single s electron outside a filled level or filled p sublevel. Electrons in these inner levels are much closer to the nucleus than the outer s electron and hence effectively shield it from the positive charge of the nucleus. To a first approximation, each inner electron cancels the charge of one pro-...
