What is the ground state electron configuration of iron atom Fe?
Therefore the Iron electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d6. Note that when writing the electron configuration for an atom like Fe, the 3d is usually written before the 4s.
What is the shorthand notation?
Shorthand notation uses the noble gas of the previous line. This is due to the fact that all the orbitals up to that noble gas are completely filled. Then, you start filling in the orbitals for the element for the row that it is in. I will use two examplesmagnesium (Mg) and bismuth (Bi)to show the shorthand form.
Why do we write iron as Fe?
A symbol Fe represents it. It is the most common element that is found on the earth. Unlike that of other elements, iron exists at oxidation states of -2 to +6. Elementary iron occurs in a low-oxygen environment even though it is reactive to water and oxygen.
What is the data for FE?
Therefore the Iron electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d6. Note that when writing the electron configuration for an atom like Fe, the 3d is usually written before the 4s.
