Interpretation:
The electronic configuration of
Concept introduction:
The filling of the electrons in the orbital can be done by the three sets of the principle are as follows:
(a). The Afbau principle:- This principle is stated that the lower energy of the orbital would be assigned electrons before the higher energy of the orbital.
(b). The Hund’s rule:-According to this rule, the pairing of the electrons can be done in the subshell after each of the subshells has a single electron.
(c). The Pauli’s exclusion principle:-This principle is stated that both electrons are present in either positive half-spin or negative half spin.
Answer to Problem 21.1P

The oxide X2O3 is a reducing agent while XO2 is an oxidizing agent. Which of the following statements best explains the chemical behavior of these oxides? a) The higher oxidation state of X in XO2 makes it a stronger reducing agent. b) The lower oxidation state of X in X2O3 indicates it donates electrons more readily, acting as a reducing agent. c) XO2 acts as a reducing agent because it has a higher oxygen content. d) The presence of more oxygen atoms in X203 makes it a better oxidizing agent.
