What is the electron configuration for<br> 08<br> 16

Elis [28]

The electron configuration for Oxygen : [He] 2s²2p⁴

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d, and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub-shell is

• s: 2 electrons

• p: 6 electrons

• d: 10 electrons and

• f: 14 electrons

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:

The element is Oxgen, with symbol O, and :

the atomic number=8=number of electron

the atomic mass=16

The electron configuration based on the number of electrons(for Oxygen=8), so the configuration :

$\tt _8^{16}O:1s^22s^22p^4$ or we can write with noble gas [He] 2s²2p⁴

Air at 7S°F and14.6 though a cfm(cubic ft per minute) and the The flow rate is 48000 psia flows though a rectangular duct of Ix2

IgorLugansk [536]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Air is at $75^{o}F$ and 14.6 psia.

$\varepsilon$ = 0.00015 ft, Flow rate, (Q) = 48000 $ft^{3}/m$

(a) Formula to calculate hydraulic radius $(r_{H})$ is as follows.

$r_{H} = \frac{\text{free flow area}}{\text{wet perimeter}}$

= $\frac{2 \times 1}{2(1) + 2(2)}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$ ft

Formula for equivalent diameter is as follows.

$D_{eq} = 4 \times r_{H}$

= $4 \times \frac{1}{3} ft$

= $\frac{4}{3}$ ft

(b) Formula for velocity floe is as follows.

Q = VA

V = $\frac{Q}{A}$

= $\frac{48000}{2 \times 1}$ ft/min

= 24000 ft/min

(c) Formula to calculate Reynold's number is as follows.

$R_{e}$ = $\frac{D \times V \times \rho}{\mu}$

= $\frac{\frac{4}{3} \times 24000 \times 0.0744}{0.0443}$ (as $\rho = 0.0744 lb/ft^{3}$ and $\mu$ = 0.0443 lb/ft. hr)

= 53742.66 hr/min

As 1 hr = 10 min. So, $53742.66 hr/min \times \frac{60 min}{1 hr}$

= 3224559.6

(d) Formula to calculate pressure drop $(\Delta P)$ is as follows.

$\frac{\Delta P}{L} = \frac{4f \rho V^{2}}{2Dg_{c}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{\Delta P}{L} = \frac{4f \rho V^{2}}{2Dg_{c}}$

= $\frac{4 \times 0.00015 \times 100 \times 0.0744 \times (24000)^{2}}{2 \times \frac{4}{3} \times {4}{3}}$

= 6.238 $lb/ft^{2}$

Metals experience plastic deformation when _____.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Metals experience plastic deformation when a specific amount of pressure and temperature is applied to them. Most metals have low specific heat. Because of their low specific heat, they easily get hot when heat is applied to them.
