Question #9
Give the element that has the electron configuration: 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p65s2
A.   In
B.   Ni
C.   Sr
D.   Fe
Question #10
Nearly all the first row transition metal elements will form a +2 cation, what is the best explanation of this observation?
A.   Electrons are placed in the s-orbital before filling the d-orbtials, and the s-orbitals can hold 2 electrons.
B.   Electrons are removed from the s-orbital first because s-orbital is of higher energy than the d-orbital when there are both s- and d- electrons present.
C.   The s- and d-orbitals are very close in energy, and all of the transition elements will rearrange their electronic configuration to get filled or half-filled shells
D.   All of the +2 cations will become isoelectronic with a noble gas element, thus they are most stable.
