3.19 Give the ground-state electron configuration and number of unpaired electrons expected for each of the following ions: (a) Sb3+; (b) Sn4+; (d) Br-; (e) Ni2+.
For part e my answer is [Ar]3d8 with 2 unpaired electrons. Did others get different answers?

If we get it wrong do you think we will still get partial credit for trying?
I think we will as long as our answer is relatively close to the actual answer.

Re: All students read this sig fig post [ENDORSED]
When taking values from the periodic table (ex. for calculating molar mass), how many significant figures do you round to? Try to not round answers until the very last step. I usually use the entire given value from the periodic table then round to the smallest number of significant figures used in...
