IB Ch12 WS2

The document contains 5 multiple choice and short answer questions about atomic orbitals, electron configurations, and ionization energies: 1. There are 7 orbitals in the n=3 level of an atom. 2. The electron configuration for Cu(I) is [Ar]4s1 3d10. 3. The electron configuration for argon is [Ne]3s23p6. Positively charged ions with the same configuration are Ar2+ and Ne+. 4. The electron configuration for germanium is [Ar]4s23d10 4p2. The 4th ionization energy is much greater due to the stable noble gas configuration being lost.
