How many unpaired electrons are in one sulfide ion in the ground state?
Q. I know the answer is 0, but I don't know why? Can someone please explain why to me? Is it because there are 6 electrons in the sulfide ion, thus there are 0 unpaired electrons? This is the same problem, but I don't know the answer to this one. How many electrons are in the 3d orbital of a titanium atom in the ground state? Would the answer be 4? Any tips? Please help!

A. you just need to know how many orbitals s has, d has, and p has (your question doesn't include d orbitals which generally refers to metals which will be slightly different, but the general principle is the same). You'll just have to memorize these: s has one orbital, each contains 2 electrons (total 2). p has three orbitals, each which contains 2 electrons (total 6). so, if you look at how many electrons are in the p orbital (the superscript), there is one i.e., there is one unpaired electron in a. In b, p has six electrons . If p has 3 orbitals, each which can hold ONLY 2 electrons, then all are filled and there are NO unpaired electrons. Just note if it isn't clear that in a it should be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1 = count all superscripts… [cont.]

A. In a regular sulfur atom on its own, there are 2 unpaired electrons. But, the most stable form for an atom is when the valence shell is filled. For sulfur, we must remember the octet rule, so there would be no unpaired electrons.

Need help how to figure this problem out about unpaired electrons?
Q. How many unpaired electrons are there in a chromium atom? I know I have to do something with Hund's rule but I can't figure this out. Thanks for your help!
Asked by duck_michelle - Mon Jun 25 19:08:30 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are 24 electrons in a chromium atom. The first two are paired on the first level (s level). There are three "p" shells that will hold a total of 6 electrons (two each). 2+6= 8, which means there are 16 electrons left. 10 of these are on one of five "d" orbitals, which each hold 2 electrons, and the last six are on an "f" orbital, which can hold up to 14 electrons in its seven orbitals. The information on the "f" orbital is what you really need. Hund's law states that no electron will share an orbital if there's room for it to have its own. Since there are seven orbitals and only six electrons, each of the last six electrons is unpaired. Hope this helps!

A. Here, this question asks you for three things: Bond order, unpaired electron, and whether each is paramagnetic or diamagnetic. I figure that you already know what molecular orbital model is? Right? If you do, this problem is very very easy to approach. Look in your text book or google it for more info. Anways, I'll list the asnwer like this: --Bond Order:--Unpaired electron:--Dia-/Para: F2+ has 1.5; 1; P F2 has 1; 0; D F2- has 0; 1; P Remember the + means there is one less electron and - means there's one more. Also, I'm doing the Bond Order in my head so check again to make sure. Ask me any question regarding on this problem. It's very simple so I don't think you have much problem here.

Asked by singhal_siddhant - Wed Aug 25 06:59:14 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They are coloured,though there are no unpaired electrons, because of "Charge transfer spectrum" (ie) Colour is associated with the electrons being promoted from one energy level to another,and absorbing or emitting the energy difference between the two levels.Thus transfer of an electron from M to L or viceverse results in charge transfer which gives rise to a spectra called charge transfer spectra.

Asked by Mark - Sun Sep 23 23:34:16 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. short : you are right long : your teacher is right, but... carbon atoms are tetraedrics in compounds, something that can NOT be explained by the 2 unpaired electrons left on the 2p orbital. The energy difference between 2s and 2p is small. To form links with other atoms, the carbon atoms will use a process called promotion, or hybridation : its electronic configuration will change from 2s2 2p2 to 4 electrons in 4 hybrid orbitals called sp3 (since it is built from 1 "s" orbital and 3 "p" orbitals). The carbon can now make 4 links to form molecules. In the usual configuration, it has only TWO unpaired electrons, since the 2s2 orbital is FULL. however, it will "always" form hybrid orbitals when reacting with other atoms. Hope this help.

Asked by ChemChic - Mon Dec 3 02:23:54 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The complex [NiCl4]2- contains Ni(II). Therefore it has a d8 configuration. Since it is tetrahedral, there is a lower energy level (e) with two orbitals and a higher energy level (t2) with three orbitals. 4 of the 8 electrons will completely fill the lower (e) energy level. The remaining 4 electrons will go in the higher (t2) level, which has 3 orbitals. Thus, one of the orbitals will have 2 electrons and the other two will each have 1 electron. Thus the answer is C, 2 unpaired electrons.

A. The best way to answer this would be with an example. Here goes: Water: H---O---H Oxygen has 2 lone pairs on it i.e. it has 4 electrons that do not take place in forming the bonds that are drawn with a line. Each line between the H and O represents a bond which is formed be 2 electrons & these 2 electrons are referred to as bonding pairs since they form a bond. The lone pairs on the O which I can't dram in here are non-bonding pairs because they just sit there and don't form any bonds. H: O: H For paired and unpaired electrons, draw the lewis structure for Chlorine which has 7 valence electrons. The 3 groups of electrons that you are paired or twinned are your paired electrons and the one electron that has to stay alone on one of the… [cont.]

A. That would be Hund's rule. Strictly, it's one of Hund's rules, but people don't usually make the distinction. FYI, the other rule is that all of the spins are in the same direction (e.g all arrows up or all arrows down).
