In the so called rain shadow effect we have interaction between all of the four major Earth spheres. When we have a coastal region where there's a high mountain range, the part of the mountain that is facing the sea will differ a lot from the part of the mountain that is on the other side. The water from the sea evaporates. The water vapor makes the air wet. The warm and wet air masses from the sea will come to the coastline, once they reach the mountain they will start to accumulate as they can not pass through it. As they accumulate rainfall appears. The rainfall contributes to a lush vegetation on this side of the mountain (windward side). The rain shadow effect appears on the leeward side of the mountain, and it mostly gets dry, strong, downward winds. These conditions result in drier climate, much less vegetation, and much increased erosion. Thus we can easily see that we have in this case interaction between the hydrosphere (the sea and the rainfall), the geosphere (the ground, soil, rocks), biosphere (the vegetation), and atmosphere (the winds, the clouds).
The name transition metal refers to the position in the periodic table of elements. The transition elements represent the successive addition of electrons to the d atomic orbitals of the atoms. In this way, the transition metals represent the transition between group 2 (2A) elements and group 13 (3A) elements.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Iron has the ground state electronic configuration [Ar]3d64s2
Fe2+ has the electronic configuration [Ar]3d6.
In an octahedral crystal field, there are two sets of degenerate orbitals; the lower lying three t2g orbitals, and the higher level two degenerate eg orbitals. Strong field ligands cause high octahedral crystal field splitting, there by separating the two sets of degenerate orbitals by a tremendous amount of energy. This energy is much greater than the pairing energy required to pair the six electrons in three degenerate orbitals. Since CN- is a strong field ligand, it leads to pairing of six electrons in three degenerate orbitals
