Reading Preparation

Textbook assignment: Read Kotz and Triechel, Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity Chapter 7: Sections 4.

Study Notes

7.4 Ion Electron configurations: Here we simply need to keep track of how many electrons we have, since the number will differ from the ground state of the neutral atom.

There are no equations for these sections.
