More unstable an electron configuration , the more reactive an atom will    become.

How electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom?

This is happen generally, If we look at the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, they are all highly reactive as they have 1 electron in their outermost shells - an unstable configuration in terms of energy.

Also, the noble gases in Group 8 in the periodic table are 'inert' that means they don't react (or more correctly, have an incredibly low reactivity). This is because they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell and thus have no need to acquire or lose electrons to possess a stable electron configuration.

Hence, electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom.

Is radium flammable?
rewona [7]

Answer:

no

Explanation:

Radium is silvery, lustrous, soft, intensely radioactive. It readily oxidizes on exposure to air, turning from almost pure white to black. Radium is luminescent, corrodes in water to form radium hydroxide. Although is the heaviest member of the alkaline-earth group it is the most volatile.

Lastly, Snape thinks we should try one more calculation. What is the retention factor if the distance traveled by the solvent fr
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

0.1 is the retention factor.

Explanation:

Distance covered by solvent ,d_s= 2.0 cm

Distance covered by solute or ion,d = 0.20 cm

Retention factor(R_f) is defined as ratio of distance traveled by solute to the distance traveled by solvent.

R_f=\frac{d}{d_s}

R_f=\frac{0.20 cm}{2.0 cm}=0.1

0.1 is the retention factor.

<u>Answer:</u> C) be hypertonic to Tank B.

<u>Explanation: </u>

<u> The ability of an extracellular solution to move water in or out of a cell by osmosis</u> is known as its tonicity. Additionally, the tonicity of a solution is related to its osmolarity, which is the <u>total concentration of all the solutes in the solution. </u>

Three terms (hypothonic, isotonic and hypertonic) are used <u>to compare the osmolarity of a solution with respect to the osmolarity of the liquid that is found after the membrane</u>.  When we use these terms, we only take into account solutes that can not cross the membrane, which in this case are minerals.

  1. If the liquid in tank A has a lower osmolarity (<u>lower concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypotonic with respect to the latter.
  2. If the liquid in tank A has a greater osmolarity (<u>higher concentration of solute</u>) than the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be hypertonic with respect to the latter.
  3. If the liquid in tank A has the same osmolarity (<u>equal concentration of solute</u>) as the liquid in tank B, the liquid in tank A would be isotonic with respect to the latter.

In the case of the problem, option A is impossible because the minerals can not cross the membrane, since it is permeable to water only. There is no way that the concentration of minerals decreases in tank A, so <u>the solution in this tank can not be hypotonic with respect to the one in Tank B. </u>

Equally, both solutions can not be isotonic and neither we can say that the solution in tank A has more minerals that the one in tank B because the liquid present in tank B is purified water that should not have minerals. Therefore, <u>options B and D are also not correct.</u>

Finally, the correct option is C, since in the purification procedure the water is extracted from the solution in tank A to obtain a greater quantity of purified water in tank B. In this way, the solution in Tank A would be hypertonic to Tank B.

{Science Question} -Photosynthesis-
MAVERICK [17]
Look I am not even close to a genius in this type of stuff but the leaves help collect energy and sunlight for the plant to live off of during the winter. It basically needs them for processing and helping them with their food. Also food is stored in every pine needles mitochondrion or the powerhouse of their cell structure. In the mitochondrion their is things like chloropasts. These are like the energy or food for the cell. So when the tree cant draw nutrients from its roots or soil anymore all the excess things stored in the pine needles will help the tree survive.
