Acertain metal fluoride crystallizes in such a way that the fluoride ions occupy simple cubic lattice sites, while the metal ions occupy the body centers of half the unit cells. the formula for the metal fluoride is

Explanation:

In a simple cubic lattice lattice, the atoms are present at the eight corners of the cibe.

Since it is mentioned that the fluorine is present at the corners and also 1 corners are shared by 8 unit cells. So, share of atom in one unit cell is:-

Also, the metal, M occupy half of the body centre. A cube has only one body centre. So, share of M in each unit cell:-

Thus, the formula is:-

Or simplifying

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.
