Question
Write the orbital diagram for the ground state of cobalt. The electron configuration is $[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^{7} 4 s^{2} .$
Step 1
The electron configuration is given as $[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^{7} 4 s^{2}$. This means that after the electrons of Argon (Ar), there are 7 electrons in the 3d orbital and 2 electrons in the 4s orbital. Show more…
