Answer:

Grease is insoluble in water but soluble in kerosene

Explanation:

The molecules in grease are non polar molecules and so can not react with water which is polar to generate enough solvation energy. On the other hand kerosine is non polar so reacts with grease to generate enough solvation energy to dissolve it.

V125BC [204]
Atomic Number of Zinc is 30, means it contains 30 electrons. So, its electronic configuration is as follow,

                                    1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰
As,
          1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶  =  Argon
So,
Electronic configuration of Zinc in shorthand notation is as follow,

                                     [Ar] 4s², 3d¹⁰
