Allushta [10]2 years ago

The most chemically stable of the four atoms given the <em>electron configuration</em> of each is; Choice A : He.

Helium (He) is a chemical element with the atomic number 2 on the periodic table. It's electron formation is 1s². It has zero valence electron in it's atomic shell.

Lithium (Li) is a chemical element with the atomic number 3 on the periodic table. It's electron formation is 1s² 2s¹. It has 1 valence electron in it's atomic shell.

Nitrogen (N) is a chemical element with the atomic number is 7 on the periodic table. It's electron formation is 1s² 2s² 2p³. It has 3 valence electron in it's atomic shell.

Sulphur (S) is a chemical element with the atomic number is 16 on the periodic table. It's electron formation is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p4. It has 4 valence electron in it's atomic shell.

Chemical stability is measured by the number of valence electron present in a chemical element atomic shell. Therefore Helium (He) has zero (0) valence electron in it's atomic shell making it the most stable amongst the chemical element listed above because elements with zero valence electron are unreactive and are the most stable elements on the periodic table.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The group number in the periodic table represents number of valence electrons of the elements in a certain group.

Explanation:

There are s, p, d, and f blocks, which you can see in periodic table

The s-block and p-block together are usually considered main-group elements, the d-block corresponds to the transition metals, and the f-block encompasses nearly all of the lanthanides (like lanthanum) and the actinides (like actinium)

There are three main principles, which may useful for you:

  • The Pauli exclusion rule basically says that at most, 2 electrons are allowed to be in the same orbital.
  • Hund’s rule explains that each orbital in the subshell must be occupied with one single electron first before two electrons can be in the same orbital.
  • The Aufbau process describes the process of adding electron configuration to each individualized element in the periodic table.

Hope this helps!

1. A physician ordered 2.0 milligrams tetracycline to be given to a patient. If the tetracycline was available as 0.75 mg/mL of
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

2.67 mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of tetracycline = 2 mg

Density of tetracycline = 0.75 mg/mL

Volume of tetracycline =?

We can obtain the volume of the tetracycline that should be given to the patient by applying the following equation:

Density = mass /volume

0.75 = 2 / volume

Cross multiply

0.75 × Volume = 2

Divide both side by 0.75

Volume = 2/0.75

Volume = 2.67 mL

Therefore, the volume of the tetracycline that should be given to the patient is 2.67 mL
