Which orbital is partially filled in the Zirconium (ZI) atom?


Sagot :

Answer:

4d orbital.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since zirconium's atomic number is 40, we fill in the electron configuration up to 40 as shown below:

[tex]1s^2,2s^2,2p^6, 3s^2,3p^6,4s^2,3d^{10},4p^6,5s^2,4d^2[/tex]

Thus, the orbital 4d is partially filled.

Best regards!
