Periodic Table information for final [ENDORSED]

[JAC_2016]

For the final, do we only need to know the s block, p block, and first row of the d block, or is there more that we need to know? Because the midterm included elements that weren't in the first row of the d block but the course reader says that we only need to know the first row of the d block.

My midterm covered elements from the s block, p block, and first row of the d block.

"Because the midterm included elements that weren't in the first row of the d block"
What midterm question did this?

[JAC_2016]

For Q4D, it asks for the ground-state electron configuration for Pb2+. I see that it isn't in the d-block but it's configuration included an element that contained the f orbital. Actually can you explain how to get the ground-state electron configuration for Pb2+?

[Chem_Mod]

Pb is in the p-block.

Pb²⁺:
highest energy 2e- in the p-block are removed
6th row of periodic table (6s²)
d run one row behind (5d¹⁰)
f run two rows behind (4f¹⁴)

Pb²⁺: [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s²
