A new element with atomic number 116 was discovered in 2000. In 2012 it was named livermorium, Lv. Although Lv is radioactive and short-lived, its chemical properties and reactivity should follow periodic trends.

a. Determine the electron configuration for the valence electrons of Lv in the ground state. (2 pts)

b. It has been suggested that Lv can form a 4+ ion. Identify what would be the electron configuration for the valence electrons for the Lv4+ ion? (1 point)

Sagot :

The electronic configuration of Lv element is [tex]5f^{14} 6d^{10} 7s^2 7p^4[/tex].

The electronic configuration of [tex]Lv^{+4}[/tex] is [tex]5f^{14} 6d^{10} 7s^2[/tex] .

What is electronic configuration?

Electronic configuration, also called electronic structure, is the arrangement of electrons in energy levels around an atomic nucleus.

And also the possible union with hydrogen can give two possible compounds:

[tex]LvH_2 \;or LvH_4[/tex]

This is because the Livermorio compound can have two different oxidation states with the values 2 and 4. When reacting with the hydrogen that its charge is +1, these would be the two possible equations of a client to the different oxidation states with the ones that might react Lv.

It is a synthetic chemical compound and its number in the periodic table is 116.

#1

Atomic no=116

Lies ahead of Renedium -86

Electronic configuration

  • [Rn]5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7s²7p⁴

#2

Lv^4+ means 4 electrons donated

So it gets removed from p orbital

[Rn]5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7s²
