Ice-cream Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hey does anyone know whether the electron configurations for atoms in solid and liquid states are the same? (coz if the electron configs are determined experimentally, would different states give different electron configs?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 they're the same. we wont consider the sea of electrons from metallic bonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FVT Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 electron configuration (Example Carbon ©: 1S^2, 2s^2, 2p^2) does not discriminate between the different states (solid, liquid, gas). The only difference that could happen will be in the bonding (breaking and forming of bonds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
