Quantum Chemistry

Quantum chemistry deals with the properties of chemical systems and their reactions. The branch of chemistry which is more concerned with quantum chemistry is physical chemistry. It is a more sophisticated field of theoretical physics which is concerned towards the application of physical concepts towards various chemical aspects such as, formation of atoms, chemical structure descriptions, chemical bond strength, hybridization, conjugation etc. Quantum chemistry mainly studies the various states i.e., ground state, excited state, transition states of the individual atoms or molecules taking place during any chemical reaction. The laws of motion explained by various scientists, which are termed as “classical mechanics” were not acceptable in terms of electrons, protons, atoms, light etc. Thus, a new theory named “quantum mechanics” emerged to understand the basic framework of various atomic and subatomic particles.

Imagine a universe where there are three spin states for the electron instead of two (for example, spin up, spin down, and spin cray-cray). The number of subshells per shell and number of orbitals per subshell stay the same, but an orbital now holds three electrons instead of two. The names of the elements stay the same. Draw the top three rows of what this new periodic table would look like, indicating which elements are in which groups in our new universe, and show the electron configurations of each of the elements of these three rows.
29. Sodium atoms are much larger than chlorine atoms, but in NaCl sodium ions are much smaller than chloride ions. Why?
The periodic table of elements contains groups of elements that have very similar reactivity. This repetition in behavior is due to similarities in the valence electron configurations of the atoms within a particular group. First, (i) define what valence electrons are. Next, (ii) write the full and core electron configurations of neutral oxygen (O), sulfur (S), and selenium (Se) atoms. Then, (iii) underline the valence electrons in each of these configurations. Finally, (iv) explain how the valence configurations that these atoms have are related to the atoms’ similarity in reactivity.
Anomalous electron configurations Some atoms, such as some transition metals and some elements in the lanthanide and actinide series, do not adhere strictly to Hund's rule. The reason the anomalies are observed is the unusual stability of both half-filled and completely filled subshells. This behavior can be explained with an example of the chromium atom. Using Hund's rule and Pauli's principle, you can write the expected electron configuration of the Cr atom that strictly follows these rules as 18² 28² 2p 382 3p6 48² 3d4. However, by moving an electron from the 4s orbital to the 3d orbital you obtain a half-filled 3d orbital. This half-filled orbital is more stable than the combination of the filled 4s orbital and the partially filled 3d orbital. Thus, the observed electron configuration of the Cr atom is 182 282 2p 38² 3p 4s¹ 3d5. Part D Ag has an anomalous electron configuration. Write the observed electron configuration of Ag. Express your answer in complete form in order of…
