Using complete subshell notation (not abbreviations, 1s22s22p6, and so forth), predict the electron configuration of each of the following atoms: (a) C (b) P (c) V (d) Sb (e) Sm

a) C = 1s2, 2s2, 2P2

b) P = 1S2, 2S2, 2P6, 3S2, 3P3

c) V = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d3, 4s2

d) Sb = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s2, 4p6, 4d10, 5s2, 5p3

e) Sm = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d10, 4s2, 4p6, 4d10, 5s2, 5p6, 4f6, 5d0,   6s2

Explanation:

Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals.

Note that: C is the symbol for carbon, P is the symbol for phosphorus, V is the symbol for vanadium, Sb is the symbol for antimony, and Sm is the symbol for Samarium.

s - orbital accepts maximum of 2 electrons

p - orbital accepts maximum of 6 electrons

d - orbital accepts maximum of 10 electrons

f - orbital accepts maximum of 14 electrons

answer: cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create atp, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. it has four stages known as glycolysis, link reaction, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
