Unveiling The Electron Configuration And Its Impact On Rubidium’s Chemical Properties
Electron configuration describes the arrangement of electrons within an atom’s energy levels. Governed by principles like the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule, it plays a crucial role in understanding atomic structure. Rubidium (Rb), an alkali metal with atomic number 37, exemplifies these principles. Its electron configuration, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^104p^65s^1, reveals its chemically active nature…
