Problem: Which of the following is true about the electron configurations of the noble gases?A. The highest occupied s and p sublevels are completely filled.B. The highest occupied s and p sublevels are partially filled.C. The electrons which the highest energy are in a d sublevel.D. The electrons with the highest energy are in an f sublevel.
FREE Expert Solution
Noble gases are placed in the last column of the periodic table.
- These gases are very stable.
- Their electron configuration consists of completely filled orbitals which is the cause of stability.
Analyze each statement:
A. The highest occupied s and p sublevels are completely filled.
