Electron configuration quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Electron configuration card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Mathematically, ______ are described by Slater determinants or configuration state functions.
Answer
configurations. Mathematically, configurations are described by Slater determinants or configuration state functions. From the Electron configuration article on Wikipedia.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Caesium-137. Caesium-137 260,000 · Probability 180,000 · Electron configuration 130,000 · Radical 78,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s2 2s2 2p6, meaning that the 1s, 2s, and 2p subshells are occupied by two, two, and six electrons, respectively.
- Electronic configurations describe each electron as moving independently in an orbital, in an average field created by the nuclei and all the other electrons.
- Mathematically, configurations are described by Slater determinants or configuration state functions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Electron configuration article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get Electron configuration
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
