<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

3p34s23d7

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Electrons in an atom are contained in specific energy levels that are different distances from the nucleus.
  • Within each energy level is a volume of space where specific electrons are likely to be located, called orbitals. Orbitals are of different shapes, denoted by a letter (s, p, d, f, g).
  • S-orbital takes a maximum of two electrons, p-orbital take a maximum of six electrons, d-orbital takes a maximum of 10 electrons, and so fourth.
  • The electron filling pattern takes; 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p.........
  • Therefore; in this case after 3p3, we then go to 4s, with 2 electrons, then 3d which takes 7 electrons.

Answer:

A) 3p64s23d4

Explanation:

First off, it's important to understand the following concepts;

An atom's electron configuration is a numeric representation of its electron orbitals. The S-orbital takes a maximum of two electrons, p-orbital take a maximum of six electrons, d-orbital takes a maximum of 10 electrons, and so fourth.

The electron filling follows this pattern; 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p.........

An electron configuration can quickly and simply tell a reader how many electron orbitals an atom has as well as the number of electrons populating each of its orbitals.

Now back to the question, since the atom's configuration ends at 3p3 and we need to add nine more electrons,

1) P orbital can only accommodate 6 electrons, so we add three electrons to the 3p3 to make it 3p6 leaving us off with (9-3 = 6 electrons left).

2) The next orbital is the 4s. The s orbital can only take in 2 electrons so we add two electrons leaving us with 4 (6-2) electrons. we have 4s2 here.

3) The next orbital on the order is 3d. Since the d orbital can take in op to 10 electrons, it means we can add the remaining 4 electrons to give us 3d4.

The final electronic configuration from 3p is now given as;

3p64s23d4

why do we heat the test tube in a glass beaker during a chemistry experiment and not directly over a flame?
bearhunter [10]
It is not directly over a flame because it depends on the substance you might not want to heat it too much.you never know what could happen

In humans, infections by fungi and protists are usually more difficult to treat than bacteria infections. Suggest an explanation
Basile [38]
<span>Fungal diseases are difficult to treat mainly because they are eukaryotic organisms just like us humans, and therefore have less differences for drugs to target without harming the human body as well. Most antibiotics target e.g. the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial (a prokaryote) cell wall, which is a safe target since eukaryotic cells do not have equivalent structures. Similarly many differences in metabolic pathways between humans and prokaryotes is often targeted by antibiotics, but metabolism of fungi and humans is much more uniform, and hence it is difficult to exclusively target the fungi only.

HOPE THIS HELPS!
