What is the ground state electron configuration for zn?

The given element is Zinc. The symbol of the element is Zn.

Atomic number of zinc  – 30

Electronic configuration –   1s22s22p63s23p64s23d10  or [Ar]3d104s2

Ground state electronic configuration-  1s22s22p63s23p64s23d10 

Occurrence:

Zinc is the 24th most prevalent element in the Earth’s crust, with 75 parts per million. Zinc concentrations in soil range from 5 to 770 parts per million, with an average of 64.

Physical properties of zinc:

• Zinc is a lustrous bluish-white metal with a high melting point. 

• It belongs to the periodic table’s group II b. 

• It is brittle and crystalline at room temperature, but when heated to between 110°C and 150°C, it becomes ductile and malleable.

Chemical properties of zinc:

• Zinc is one of the most effective reducing agents.

ZnCl2 +H2 Zn + 2HCl

• When zinc is burned, it produces a blue-green flash.The chemical reaction of zinc oxide is as follows:

2ZnO 2Zn + O2

• Zinc does not react with water directly. Metallic zinc, on the other hand, can produce zinc hydroxide by reacting with oxygen in the air in the presence of water vapor.

Uses:

• Zinc metal is used in roofing and zinc oxide manufacturing.

• Sunscreens, solar cells, and nuclear reactors are just a few of the applications for the metallic element.

• The element helps to keep the human body’s enzyme balanced.

• Zinc oxide is also used in the production of vehicle tyres as a rubber constituent.

• Zinc oxide can withstand extreme temperatures and keeps tyres from collapsing when they get too hot.
