hypervalent_iodine Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 No it wouldn't be (please look up what a noble gas is), and no they aren't. They are very clearly different. The periodic table is a form of data organisation. The lanthanides and actinides are where they are because it's easier to look at. If you put them in amongst the transition metals, all you do is make the table wider. It doesn't make Hf a noble gas. It is similar to the add column left / add column right function when you make tables in MS Word. Here is what it looks like if you bump the f block into the table: Your diagrams are, for lack of a better word, meaningless. 20 minutes ago, danking said: f orbitals are just giant s, p and d orbitals anyway funny how all the probability "shells" are shaped like my diagrams lol those p's look a hell of a lot like what I am showing ;-) The sequences match, except for that bit in the middle, and please ignore half of the periodic table because those don't match either. What do you mean the half that barely exists.... and has not been studied in its entirety that half? lol FYI the half you are suggesting is radioactive: Francium. Firstly, Francium is REALLY rare! It is radioactive and it breaks down into other elements very quickly. It was discovered in France in 1939 by a French physicist called Marguerite Perey. There are thought to be only 30 grams of it on the Earth at one time. for instance... numerology? lol really... Why does it matter if they're radioactive or not? That isn't really related to electronic configuration, so it should have no bearing whatsoever on your sequence. Besides, the first two instances where it differs occur in the first half, in the set of naturally occurring elements. You also stated in an earlier post that the sequence similarity holds true into the f block "and beyond." That's been shown to be completely false, so I have to assume then that you're making most of this up as you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danking Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yes so in terms of spin... or clockwise and anticlockwise. If you look at your clock it is going clockwise I assume so you can tell the time? If you go behind your clock and look at it from behind it is going anti clockwise... You can see this on a piece of paper with a thick pen This circle is clearly spinning clockwise in the + x axis But if I am on the other side of the page it's going the opposite way: If you watch cyclist bike wheels from one side of the road then the other you can see the same thing... So spin is relative. In terms of atoms and elements... Li is an element with a single electron BUT it doesn't exist by itself it reacts very quickly... Oxygen "free radicals" are the same and age us by destroying the DNA very reactive... it's the reason chemistry happens. If you want to read up on orbitals you can see the only difference between the p and d is their axis of orientation https://socratic.org/chemistry/the-electron-configuration-of-atoms/arrangement-of-electrons-in-orbitals-spd-and-f They're the same shape they just sit in different axis so all this argument around 4p and 3d is an axial argument i.e is the shell sitting in the x or xy axis? i.e. the p or d... and f is LOTS more involved...

I'm sorry I think all of this is an off topic red herring. Spin up and spin down are differentiated for a reason. I suggest you look up enantiomers, chirality and plain old handedness. The crux of the matter is that you have avoided dividing atoms with an odd number of outer electrons by 2 by arbitrarily assigning a particular spin to them. Free Lithium has one outer electron, not one electron. Free hydrogen is the only atom with just one electron, monatomic hydrogen certainly exists. Note, according to Wikipedia, in fact it is the most abundant substance in the universe Quote wikipedia Hydrogen is a chemical element with symbol H and atomic number 1. With a standard atomic weight of circa 1.008, hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table. Its monatomic form (H) is the most abundant chemical substance in the Universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass.[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danking Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yes sorry I couldn't resist... no monatomic doesn't mean with 1 electron it's either with 1 extra or without one: ono atomic hydrogen is neither hydride (H-) nor proton (H+). Rather, what you seek is the H radical. Typically, hydrogen free radicals are so reactive that they don't exist in solution but their chemistry can be accessed by reacting longer lived radicals with hydrogen atom donors in a reaction called a hydrogen atom abstraction. Alternatively, it is possible to generate hydrogen atoms in solution via photolysis or high temperature in molecules with particularly weak R-H bonds. In these cases the H radicals will react very rapidly and are typically very short lived. Cheers There is no odd or even or clockwise or anti-clockwise its perspective.

It's omitted because there is no gap between 1 2 3 gaps = 0 0 so you could write 0 0 1 1 3 1 3 1 3 5 1 5 I've also had a chance to drill into this p and d problem and have an explanation... Summary of the main issues yesterday was the p and d are in the wrong order below... should read 5 3 not 3 5 (I've not looked at f because that is a lot more full on) 1 1 3 1 3 1 3 5 1 5 (Primes Gaps) 1s1 2s1 2p3 3s1 3p3 4s1 4p3 3d5 5s1 4d5 (Electron Configuration from Hydrogen to Cadmium) Okay so the 4p and 3d are in the wrong order... why? What is the difference between p and d? P orbital d oribital There is a significant difference... p orbitals contain 2 electrons on each axis x, y and z d orbitals contain ONLY 1 electron on each axis AND occupy the same space as the px, py, pz, s = 4 electrons and in between the x, y and z 6 electrons So essentially the electrons in the d occupy 10 axis NOT 5... and are in the "same space" as the p and s BUT they go through the middle of the nucleus as there is only 1 electron per axis... So the d orbitals occupy: 4s1, 4p3, 3d5, 5s1 BUT across the axis so they also occupy the - 4s1, - 4p3, -3d5, -5s1 with the SAME electron... = 10 electrons I haven't looked at the f orbitals I thought I would let this sink in first - so please don't bombard me with f lol Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 That is incorrect. The electronic configuration for cadmium is still written with the 4p coming before the the 5s and after the 3d. Your explanation for the differences in p and d orbitals further leads me to believe you don't actually know what orbitals are. They aren't static orbital pathways for electrons. They are probability density maps. Those shapes are just a representation of the space in which you are likely to find a particular electron. 11 minutes ago, danking said: So essentially the electrons in the d occupy 10 axis NOT 5... and are in the "same space" as the p and s BUT they go through the middle of the nucleus as there is only 1 electron per axis...

Summary of the main issues yesterday was the p and d are in the wrong order below... should read 5 3 not 3 5 (I've not looked at f because that is a lot more full on) 1 1 3 1 3 1 3 5 1 5 (Primes Gaps) 1s1 2s1 2p3 3s1 3p3 4s1 4p3 3d5 5s1 4d5 (Electron Configuration from Hydrogen to Cadmium) Okay so the 4p and 3d are in the wrong order... why? What is the difference between p and d? P orbital d oribital There is a significant difference... p orbitals contain 2 electrons on each axis x, y and z d orbitals contain ONLY 1 electron on each axis AND occupy the same space as the px, py, pz, s = 4 electrons and in between the x, y and z 6 electrons So essentially the electrons in the d occupy 10 axis NOT 5... and are in the "same space" as the p and s BUT they go through the middle of the nucleus as there is only 1 electron per axis... So the d orbitals occupy: 4s1, 4p3, 3d5, 5s1 BUT across the axis so they also occupy the - 4s1, - 4p3, -3d5, -5s1 with the SAME electron... = 10 electrons I haven't looked at the f orbitals I thought I would let this sink in first - so please don't bombard me with f lol Dan it has been really useful so thank you all - sorry it got heated at times BUT collaboration is never easy!

This thread is littered with fallacious statements by you. Each time one is pointed out by someone ( not all by me ) you carry on as though they had not posted. Perhaps that is why others (again not me) have been downvoting you. I am only pursuing this now because the partial match between the two sequences is interesting and I wonder how far it can be taken or if there is anything in modern abstract maths that would apply here (perhaps group theory). You asked for help yet sem unable to accept any or conduct a rational discussion progressing to a better conclusion that the initial hypothesis. 2 You are distracting from the science... this is on the homepage? I've answered your questions... clearly. Yes you have answered some of my questions clearly, but wrongly. Would you like a list? Within 5 minutes of my post you reproduced as fact that which another member with an impeccable academic pedigree has told you was 'incorrect'. Why?
