a) What is the full ground state electron configuration (spdf notation) of Al?
b) Draw the energy level diagram for Al.


c) Modify the energy diagram above to show the excited state that required the smallest amount of energy to move the highest energy valence electron to another orbital.


d) Draw the boundary diagrams of the orbitals in the valence shell of aluminum. Make sure to label your axis.
