You can prove this by letting the water evaporate or using a instrument that can measure the solids in a liquid.

Explanation:

A solution is defined as the substance formed due to addition of two or more number of substances. A solution is a homogeneous mixture.

And, homogeneous mixtures are always clear solution. Particles of a homogeneous solution never combine chemically with each other.

For example, when we dissolve baking soda in water then it will completely dissolve in water forming a clear solution.

So, in order to determine that it is a solution we can let the water from the solution to evaporate.

This will leave behind the solute, that is, baking soda in the vessel. This will show that it is a solution.

Whereas a compound is defined as the substance in which different elements are chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

For example, MgSO_{4} is a compound and elements are present in 1:4 ratio.

Components of a compound can only be separated by chemical means and not by any physical means.

if a gas has an initial pressure of 24,650 pa and an initial volume of 376 ml, what is the final volume if the pressure of the g
NNADVOKAT [17]

If a gas has an initial pressure of 24,650 pa and an initial volume of 376 ml, then the final volume would be 11,943.8144 ml if the pressure of the gas is changed to 775 torr assuming that the amount and the temperature of the gas remain constant.

It is given that the initial pressure P₁ is 24,650Pa and initial volumeV₁ is 376ml and the final pressureP₂ is 775 torr. We need to find the final volume of the gas. The final volume could be found using the following formula:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

By substituting the values, we get

24650 x 376 = 776 x V₂

9268400 = 776V₂

V₂ = 9268400/776

V₂ = 11,943.8144 ml

Therefore, the final volume of the gas would be 11,943.8144 ml

The maximum number of electrons in a single d subshell is:
son4ous [18]

10 electrons

Explanation:

The maximum number of electrons in a single d-subshell is 10 electrons.

The d-notation stands for an azimuthal quantum number or secondary quantum number.

This subshell can only accommodate a maximum of 10 electrons.

d- subshell has five orbitals

Each orbital is able to accommodate 2 electrons.

 Therefore 5 x 2 = 10 electrons

Write the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these transition metal ions, and state which are paramagnetic:
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4

Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic

b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1

For Au+ is not paramagnetic

c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2

Mn2+ is paramagnetic

d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²

Hf2+ is not paramagnetic

Explanation:

An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

What is the Bond Type and Molecular polarity of PCl3?
DedPeter [7]
It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.

covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.

molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.
