Use condensed electron configurations and Lewis electron-dot symbols to depict the ions formed from each of the following atoms,
1 answer:
Condensed electron configuration of :
Ga = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p¹.
O = 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
Gallium belongs to group 13 of the periodic table with 3 valence electrons. Oxygen (Atomic number = 8 and electronic configuration = 2,6) belongs to group 16 of the periodic table with 6 valence electrons. To achieve the octet stability criteria 2 gallium atoms will donate their 3 electrons each to 3 oxygen atoms.
The 3 oxygen atoms due to their high electron attracting ability will accept those electrons resulting in Ga3+ cation and O₂⁻ anion.
Thus, the formula of their compound if Ga₂O₃.

Explanation:
Kepler's laws have three principal points:
1. planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths
2. the orbial period is related to the orbital distance by
where T is the orbital period and d is the orbital distance, T is in years and d is measured in units of the earth sun distance.
3. planets closer to the sun move faster than planets far away from it.
Newton:
Newton discovered that there is a consequence to the gravity exerted by objects: mass, the heavier the planet, the more gravitational force it posseses ( thats why we orbit the sun)
with the gravitational force newton discovered the inverse-quadratic relationship between the distance of the planets and the acceleration exerted by the force one could exert on another.
Kepler's laws were mostly based on observed evidence with quantitative relationships between the mentioned variables. Newton's laws are based on calculus and symbolic equations. While Kepler's mode is basic, Newton took another step in and build a more general model for gravity (which was improved by general relativity later). In a nutshell Newton proved the scientific causes for Kepler's laws...
