Build the ground-state orbital diagram for: roentgenium (Rg) Plan: • Look up the abbreviated (condensed) ground electronic configuration. • Use the electronic configuration to identify the outermost electrons. • Determine the energetic ordering of atomic orbital subshells. • Use the following representations: a gray rectangle for an atomic orbital, an up arrow for an alpha (spin-up) spin state and a down arrow for a beta (spin-down) spin state. • Follow the Pauli exclusion principle by representing the first electron in each atomic orbital with an alpha spin state and the second electron with a beta spin state. • Place electrons into orbitals following the Aufbau principle and Hund's rule. The abbreviated ground electronic configuration for roentgenium is: [Rn]7s^15f^146d^10 Electrons in atomic orbitals outside of the radon core, [Rn], are the outermost electrons: 7s^15f^146d^10 Atomic orbital energy usually increases from 1s to 8s in the following order: Follow the Aufbau principle by filling the atomic orbitals with electrons in the following order: 7s < 5f < 6d Follow Hund's rule by placing one alpha electron into the 7s orbital: 7s Place fourteen electrons as alpha-beta pairs into the seven 5f orbitals: 5f 7s Place ten electrons as alpha-beta pairs into the five 6d orbitals: Answer: | | 6d 5f 7s
