Which of the following is a reasonable ground-state electron configuration? 1s21p62d2 1s22s42p6 1s22s22p5 1s22s22d6

Answer is: 1s22s22p5.

1) Electron configuration 1s²1p⁶2d², this is not reasonable because 1p and 2d oritals do not exist.

2) Electron configuration 1s²2s⁴2p⁶, this is not reasonable because s orbitals only contain 2 electrons.

3) Electron configuration 1s²2s²2p⁵ is of an element fluorine. Fluorine (F) has atomic number 9, which means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons.

4) Electron configuration 1s²2s²2d⁶, this is not reasonable because 2d orbitals do not exist.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
