Advertisements
Solution
\[\ce{Ni}\] (28): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d8 4s2
\[\ce{Ni^{2+}}\] (26): 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d8
Hence, to form \[\ce{Ni^{2+}}\] ion, it will lose 2 electrons from 4s orbital.

The arrangement of orbitals on the basis of energy is based upon their (n + l) value. Lower the value of (n + l), lower is the energy. For orbitals having same values of (n + l), the orbital with lower value of n will have lower energy.
Based upon the above information, arrange the following orbitals in the increasing order of energy.
5f, 6d, 7s, 7p
