Transition metal atoms and cations have different valence configurations, even when the species contain the same number of electrons. 

Although they both have the s p valence configurations, selenium s least stable electrons are in orbitals with a larger ft value. Orbital size increases with tt. Selenium also has a greater nuclear charge than sulfur, which raises the possibility that nuclear attraction could offset increased tt. 

The elements that can form cations relatively easily are metals. All metals have similar properties, in part because their outermost s electrons are relatively easy to remove. All elements in the s block have ns or n s valence configurations. The d-block elements have one or two n S electrons and various numbers of (n - 1) d electrons. Examples are titanium (4 S 3 d ) and silver (5 Ad ). Elements in the f block have two S electrons and a... 

C08-0088. Use the periodic table to find and list (a) all elements whose ground-state configurations indicate that the 4 5" and 3 d orbitals are nearly equal in energy (b) the elements in the column that has two elements with one valence configuration and two with another valence configuration and (c) a set of elements whose valence configurations indicate that the 6 of and 5 f orbitals are nearly equal in energy. 

Sulfur has the valence configuration 3 3, with two of the valence p orbitals occupied by single electrons. 

Metallic lead is dark in color and is an electrical conductor. Diamond, the most valuable form of carbon, is transparent and is an electrical insulator. These properties are very different yet both lead and carbon are in Group 14 of the periodic table and have the same valence configuration, s p Why, then, are diamonds transparent insulators, whereas lead is a dark-colored conductor ... 

They demonstrated that electron-deficient R groups and electron-rich R substituents at S accelerated the reductive elimination. They proposed 123 (Lj = DPPE, R = Ph, R = Ar) as a transition state, where R acts as an electrophile and thiolate as a nucleophile. The Hammet plot for the reductive elimination showed that the resonance effect of the substituent in R determines the inductive effect of the R group, and the effect in SR showed an acceptable linear relationship with the standard o-values. The relative rate for sulfide elimination as a function of the hybrid valence configuration of the carbon center bonded to palladium followed the trend sp > sp spl... 

The Hartree-Fock method is modified by mixing some important valence electron configurations with the ground-state one 20>. This is called the OVC optimized valence configurations) method. 

The distinction between Pd compounds and those of Ni and Pt is also evident in the NAO valence configurations of metal atoms in the three final HMMH species of Table 4.57. The values show that Ni and Pt have more nearly the promoted s1 d9 configuration for hybridized bonding, whereas Pd is more nearly the unhybridized... 

When in the valence configuration of the atomic system there are N equivalent electrons expressions (9) and (17) should be multiplied by N and by the appropriate Coefficient of Fractional Parentage (CFP) [10,12], In all the present transitions N has been taken equal to 5, as it is one of the five 3p electrons the one that experiences the transition. The CFP varies with the initial and final states. All the CFP values have been taken from Ref. 12.

In our previous experience with chlorine [4], for which the ground state valence configuration is the same as that in Ar II, 3s 3p, we found that all the excited configurations in which one of the 3p electrons is promoted to an upper n p or n d ( > 3) state comply with the LS scheme. This was valid for two different states of the core, the ground, P, and the excited D states. The same has been found to occur in Ar 11. However, in some of the states where one 3p electron is promoted to an orbital with higher n and / quantum numbers the levels showed a clear JJ structure. We observed that for a given value of / this was more obvious the higher the principal quantum...
