Just had a lecture there where the lecturer was doing revision on electronic configuration.
He stated that the electronic configuration of InX3+=[Kr] 5sX2 3pX1
He didn't include the 4dX10 orbital. He said it doesn't matter and if we write the full E.C out it's incorrect. It basically goes against everything we studied in 1st year general chemistry. Also I believe he didn't take into account the fact that InX3+ has 46e− not 49e−.
Should the electronic configuration not be [Kr] 5sX0 4dX10 3pX0=[Kr] 4dX10
Can someone shed some light on whether he is right.
