Noble Configuration vs. Full

[NicoJones_1B]

On tests and exams will it be specified when we should write out the full hybridization or can we always use the noble gas configuration?

[VLi_2B]

I believe that you can write the full configuration or the noble gas configuration. Either works

[Natalie C 1K]

i'm pretty sure that if the question doesn't specify, then writing the noble gas configuration is fine

[805307623]

Usually a question will indicate if a full configuration is needed, but other than that a noble gas configuration is very commonly used and should do.

[BCaballero_4F]

I believe it will be specified but if not the noble gas configuration should be sufficient.

[Ian Morris 3C]

They will usually tell you if you need to use shorthand or the full configuration. If not, noble gas should be fine.

[Yiyang Jen Wang 4G]

I believe it should say in the question which one to use. If not specified, either way should be fine.

[April Pazos 3D]

The question will specify if it wants it or not.
