What is the valence configuration of potassium

Chemistry
1 answer:
photoshop1234 [79]9 months ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Ground state electron configuration of potassium (K) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1. The valency of the element is determined by electron configuration in the excited state. This electron configuration shows that the last shell of the potassium atom has an unpaired electron (4s1). So the valency of potassium is 1.

maksim [4K]

The fraction of the original amount remaining is closest to 1/128

<h3>Determination of the number of half-lives</h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 4 days
  • Time (t) = 4 weeks = 4 × 7 = 28 days
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 28 / 4

n = 7

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 7
  • Amount remaining (N)=?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 100 / 2⁷

N = 0.78125 g

<h3>How to determine the fraction remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Amount remaining (N)= 0.78125 g
  • Fraction remaining =?

Fraction remaining = N / N₀

Fraction remaining = 0.78125 / 100

Fraction remaining = 1/128

How many bonding and non-bonding electron pairs are found in the BF3 molecule?​
Contact [7]

Answer:

MARK AS BRAINLIEST

Explanation:

Boron trifluoride only has six valence electrons and is one of the relatively rare second period covalent molecules that disobeys the octet rule. There are three bonded groups and so no lone pairs. Six electrons implies three electron pairs and therefore a trigonal geometry.

2.- Conductivity      -conduct electricity               - do not conduct electricity

                                  in solution.

3.- Color                  - Shiny                                     - opaque

4.- Melting point     - high                                       - lower than ionic compounds

5.- Boiling point     - high                                        - lower than ionic compounds

6.- flammability      - not flammable                       - flammable
