Mastering chem is so effing unclear, I'm doing the part where its like use the tool to draw the electron configuration for arsenic, and I'm trying every possible way to express the answer but none worked so i had to give up on the question. The 2 previous questions before were diff, it said to draw the orbital diagram...wtf is this? There is a difference to the question but you use the same dam tools. who would i talk to about this to fix this? Because it was just friggen unclear and the hints were dumb

I have absolutely no idea what the problem is (your post was super confusing), but try talking to the prof? They don't make the mastering chem questions though, so you might just have to deal with it.

Basically just click the 1s, 2s stuff all the way until 4p3. Click on the lines to show the double headed arrows. Make sure that 3d is above 4s but below 4p.

I attached my answer

check the chem group on facebook. people were putting the right answer in for arsenic yet still kept getting it wrong.

Its not the end of the world if you get a mastering chem question wrong

ahahah calm done, I think your getting too worked up about mastering chem. As it was reiterated before, its not a big deal, plus they only take your top 5 assignments? It could have changed this year, but none-theless you can still do well even with one question wrong.
