Question

Question:Read the labels of several commercial products and identify monatomic ions of at least four transition elementscontained in the products. Write the complete electron configurations of these cations.

Short answer

Zn²⁺ = 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰

Fe²⁺= 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵4s¹

Mn²⁺= 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵

Cu²⁺= 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁹

Step-by-step solution

identifying monoatomic ions around us

the labels of several commercial products contain many monatomic ions. four transition elements contained in the products are,

Protein powder = zinc oxide

Dog’s food = ferrous sulfate

Dog’s food = manganese sulfate

Dog’s food = copper proteinate

determining the electronic configuration of each.

Zinc oxide = Zn²⁺ = 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰

Ferrous sulphate = Fe²⁺= 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵4s¹

Manganese sulphate = Mn²⁺= 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵

Copper proteinate = Cu²⁺= 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁹
