Perodic Table Information

For each compound, and where possible, a formal oxidation number for each element is given, but the usefulness of this number is limited, especially so for p-block elements in particular. Based upon that oxidation number, an electronic configuration is also given but note that for more exotic compounds you should view this as a guide only.

Element	%	Formal oxidation state	Formal electronic configuration
Br	80.19	-1	[Ar].3d¹⁰.4s².4p⁶
Se	19.81	4	[Ar].3d¹⁰.4s²
