AW2020 0 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I am currently working on noble gas configurations in chemistry and I am having a hard time understanding why I got two questions wrong on a practice. The instructions for the practice are here: Write out the noble gas configuration for the element. Enter your answer with all values without any spaces, hyper scripts or subscripts Example: S- (These are meant to be in exponential format) [Ne]3s23p4 --> [Ne]3s23p4 My questions are: Write the noble gas configuration for Zr: Write the noble gas configuration for Ho: My answers were: [Kr]5s24p64d2 [Xe]6s25p64f11 I am still getting the answers wrong. Where did I go wrong in my configurations? Link to post Share on other sites
