Introduction to electron configuration of neon:
Neon is present in Period 2 and Group 18 of the periodic table. Group 18 consists of six elements: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon
and radon. All these are gases and chemically unreactive. They form very few compounds. Because of this they are termed noble gases.
All the noble gases except radon occur in the atmosphere. Their atmospheric abundance in dry air is ~ 1% by volume of which argon
is the major constituent. Helium and sometimes neon are found in minerals of radioactive origin e.g., pitchblende, monazite, cleveite. The
main commercial source of helium is natural gas.
I am planning to write more post on Enrico Fermi Atomic Theory, the equation for photosynthesis. Keep checking my blog.
The elements present in Group 18 have their valence shell orbitals completely filled and, therefore, react with a few elements only under
certain conditions. Therefore, they are now known as noble gases.
Neon electronic configuration:
All noble gases have general electronic configuration ns2np6 except helium which has 1s2 . Many of the properties of noble
gases including their inactive nature are ascribed to their closed shell structures.
Helium has electronic configuration of 1s2
Neon has electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6
Argon has electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
Krypton has electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6
Xenon has electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p6
Radon has electronic configuration of 1s2 s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 4f14 5s2 5p6 5d10 6s2 6p6
All the noble gases are monoatomic. They are colourless, odourless and tasteless. They are sparingly soluble in water. They have very low melting and boiling points because the only type of interatomic interaction in these elements is weak dispersion forces. Helium has the lowest boiling point (4.2 K) of any known substance. It has an unusual property of diffusing through most commonly used laboratory materials such as rubber, glass or plastics.
