2 ©YIJC Answer all the questions in this section in the spaces provided. 1 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. This question is about period 3 elements. (a) (i) State the electronic configuration of argon. …………………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] (ii) Using the Cartesian axes shown in Fig. 1.1, draw a fully labelled diagram of the valence orbitals of argon. Fig 1.1 [1] (iii) Two glass vessels B and C are connected by a closed valve as shown in Fig 1.2. Fig. 1.2 B contains argon at 20 C at a pressure of 1 x 10 5 Pa. C has been evacuated and has three times the volume of B. In an experiment, the valve was opened and the temperature of the whole apparatus was raised to 100 C. Calculate the final pressure in the system. [2]
