Mastering error for Ch 23c (23.5-23.6) Homework Review #19, Part E

[Zellmer, Robert]

For this question you have to write out electron configurations for various elements
and their ion.  Each question is worded as:

"Express your answer in condensed form, in order of increasing orbital energy. For example,
[He]2s2 2p2 would be entered as [He]2s^2 2p^2"

For Part E, element Rh, there's an error in that it won't accept it this way.  For this one it
expects it in order of increasing "n" value.  Sometimes electron config. are written that
way.  For example, for Ni you might see either of the following:

[Ar] 4s^2 3d^8, as you would get from putting them in order of inc. orbital energy from the PT.

It is sometimes written as:

[Ar] 3d^8 4s^2

For Part E it's expecting it this latter way.  The others should be done as requested.
