Ground state electronic configurations of the elements and ionization energies

Ground state electronic configurations of the elements and ionization energies for the first five ionizations... 

In conjunction with these efforts, calculations were made to predict the chemical properties of the Superheavies so that likely ores could be chosen for investigation and separation schemes devised. Separation techniques were developed to purify and identify elements with lifetimes as short as a thousandth of a second. Models were developed to predict such aggregate properties as entropies from samples as small as 500 atoms. Ground-state electron configurations, oxidation states, ionization energies, metallic radii, ionic radii, densities, melting points. 

The S atom in the ground state has the electronic configuration [Ne]3s 3p with 2 unpaired p electrons ( Pj). Other atomic properties are ionization energy 999.30 kJ mo1 , electron affinities -1-200 and —414kJmol for the addition of the first and second electrons respectively, electronegativity (Pauling) 2.5, covalent radius 103 pm and ionic radius of 184 pm. These properties can be compared with those of the other elements in Group 16 on p. 754.
