Questions from the course about vanadium. If you’re signed in, your answers count toward your progress.

  1. Question 1Ground-state electron configurationExam level

    Which is the ground-state electron configuration of a neutral vanadium atom (V\ce{V})?

  2. Question 2Electron configuration of an ionExam level

    Which is the ground-state electron configuration of VX2+\ce{V^2+}?

  3. Question 3Fill an atomic orbital diagramExam level

    Complete the orbital diagram for the valence electrons of a ground-state vanadium atom (V\ce{V}). Only the 4s and 3d subshells are shown; the [Ar] core is full and not drawn. Obey the Pauli principle and Hund's rule.
