The state of energy that is forbidden is 2p orbital. The correct option is b).

<h3>What is the energy state of electrons?</h3>

The energy state of an electron depends upon the presence of the electron on the orbitals. Lower the energy they will be in the lower orbital. When they get higher energy they move to the higher orbital.

By using the Selection Rules for Electron Transitions

1.) ?l = +/- 1 and

2.) ?m = 0, +/- 1

The conservation of angular momentum is required by these laws. A photon's inherent angular momentum is 1. As 4p is higher than 2p and the electron is lowering its energy. So, it will go down to 2p orbital.

Thus, the correct option is b). 2p orbital.

The question is incomplete. Your full question is given below:

a) 3d

b) 2p

c) 1s

d) 2s

What kind of intermolecular forces act between two ammonia molecules
iragen [17]

Answer:

extensive hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The high boiling points of water, hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ammonia (NH3) is an effect of the extensive hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The London dispersion force is caused by random and temporary changes in the polarity of atoms, caused by the location of the electrons in the atoms' orbitals.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

a. Kenya's growth seems to be a large population influx, an increase in the pre-reproductive stage.

b. There is a decrease in the younger generation, meaning that the reproductive part of the population is more than the pre-reproductive part. Which means less of an incline in population.

c. You can see the differences within the countries, that the growth rate in Kenya is extremely high, the United States more moderate, while Germany is somewhat even throughout. Germany is not growing much in comparison to Kenya.

Pls assist if you can.<br>Reasons why hydrogen was chosen as a standard reference to other elements
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
  • Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.
