Chromium (Cr) Expected Electronic ConfigurationActual Electron Configuration The arrangement [Ar] 3 d 5 4 s 1 is more stable than the arrangement [Ar] 3 d 4 4 s 2 because the half filled 3 d 5 sub level is more stable than the expected 3 d 4. Copper (Cu) Expected Electron ConfigurationActual Electron Configuration 10 4 s 1 The Arrangement [Ar] 3 d 10 4 s 1 is more stable than the expected [Ar] 3 d 9 4 s 2 because the complete 3 d 10 sub shell is more stable the incomplete 3 d 9 sub shell. Only when the electrons are filling that the 4 s orbital is at a lower energy level than the 3 d. But once the electrons are actually in their designated shell the energy order changes and the 4 s electrons now have a higher energy level than the 3 d.
And because the electrons in the highest energy level are removed first when ions are formed, the 4 s electrons will be removed first. Ni 2+Cr 3+Zinc Zn only forms Zn 2+ ions as it has full 3 d sub shell and the 3 d 10 arrangement is a very stable arrangement. Manganese The most stable ions for manganese are the Mn 2+ ad the Mn 7+. This is because it has a structure of [Ar] 3 d 5 4 s 2. This means it is capable of losing either just the 4 s electrons in which case it forms the Mn 2+ ion or all of the 3 d and the 4 s electron in which case it forms the Mn 7+. The high level of stability is because of the half filled 3 d sub level in Mn 2+ or the full 3 p sub level in Mn 7+.
The Term Paper on Portfolio Management Performance Measures Of Expected Rate Of Return
Portfolio management. PERFORMANCE MEASURES OF EXPECTED RATE OF RETURN. Expected rates of return are based on the main concept of risk vs. return. Therefore, the higher the risks the higher the return should there be. If the two securities have the same risk, the security that offers more return based on the given risk should be accepted. Sharpe, Treynor and Jenson are some of the methods aimed at ...
Iron Out of the two ions (Fe 2+ and Fe 3+) formed by iron the more stable one is the Fe 3+. This is because Fe has the electronic structure [Ar]3 d 6 4 s 2 and the ion is more stable when it loses three electrons to form the Fe 3+ ion ([Ar] 3 d 5) as opposed to the [Ar] 3 d 6 structure present in the Fe 2+ ion. Titanium and Scandium Ions are most stable when they have a full or half filed outer shell. This means both Ti and Sc form stable ions with an electronic configuration of 3 s 2 3 p 6. This means Sc and Ti lose 3 and 4 electrons respectively hence forming the Sc 3+ and the Ti 4+ ions. o web 5/HTML%20 Files / transition elements/7.
