Question

48.
Number of half filled orbitals in the second
excited state of sulphur would be :-
(1) 3
(3) 1
(4) 4
(2) 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

6

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of half filled orbitals in the second excited state of Sulphur would be 6.

Explanation:

3s²3p⁴ is the valence shell electron configuration of Sulphur's ground state.

3s²3p³3d¹ is the valence shell electron configuration of Sulphur's first excited state.

3s¹3p²3d² is the valence shell electron configuration of Sulphur's second excited state.

This is followed by sp³d² hybridization to form SF₆. Thus SF₆ is formed in the second excitation state of Sulphur atom.
