atoms:

(a) N

(b) Si

(c) Fe

(d) Te

(e) Mo

Short Answer

Expert verified

The diagrams are drawn in the steps below.

Step by step solution

01

describing the electron configuration of N using an orbital diagram  

Observing the periodic table, we can describe electron configuration as,

02

describing the electron configuration of Si using an orbital diagram  

Observing the periodic table, we can describe electron configuration as,

03

describing the electron configuration of Fe using an orbital diagram  

Observing the periodic table, we can describe electron configuration as,

04

describing the electron configuration of Te using an orbital diagram  

Observing the periodic table, we can describe electron configuration as,

05

describing the electron configuration of Mo using an orbital diagram  

Observing the periodic table, we can describe electron configuration as,

In the above diagram, 5s is partially filled because Mo is more stable with a partially filled s shell.
