Question

calculate the no. of microstates for p3 configuration​

Answer 1

Answer:

The term symbols will be of the form 1P and 3P. For the 1P state, L=1 and S=0, so J=1. For the second state, L=1 and S=1, so J=2,1,0. There are four microstates for this configuration with term symbols of 1P1 and 3P2, 3P1, and 3P0.

Answer 2

There are four number of microstates for p3 configuration​.

Phosphorous is a chemical element with atomic number 15

Explanation:

• P₃ configuration is the electronic configuration of an atom of phosphorous.

• Electronic configuration is 1s²,2s²,2p⁶,3s²,3p³

• For becoming n ion we have to minus three charge

• It must acquire 3 electrons that is complete 3p orbital

• Thus the electronic configuration for P³

• The new electronic configuration is 1s²,2s²,2p⁶,3s²,3p⁶.
• The number of microstates corresponds to the total number of distinct arrangements.
