Plz help me with this: Write the complete electron configuration, short hand electron configuration, and the orbital diagram. For the orbital diagram, use "u" for "upward arrow" and "d" for "downward arrow".
1) H
2) Ni
3) N
4) I and I^-1
5) Ca and Ca^+2
6) C
7) O and O^-2
8) Co
9) Ag and Ag^+1
10) Ar

We are to write the orbital notation and electronic configuration of sulfur and iron.

The orbital notation shows the filling of electrons into orbitals or sublevels.

Electron configuration  shows the distribution of electrons into shells;

       Number of electrons     Electron configuration     Orbital notation

S                  16                                   2 8 6                      1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

Fe                26                                2, 8, 14 2           1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶3d⁶4s²        

Explanation:

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
