<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

Which two changes would increase the gravitational force between two
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B. Increase the mass of one of the objects.

E. Decrease the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

To effect an increase in the gravitational force between two objects, the mass of both objects should be increased and the distance between them reduced.

This is derived from the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

  • It states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

Therefore, if the mass of the two bodies are increased and the distance between them reduced, the gravitational force of attraction will increase.

True or false? During a change of state the temperature of the substance does not change.​
irakobra [83]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

the temperature of a substance can not remain constant as the substance changes from solid to liquid then finllay from liquid to gas. This is so because as a solid is heated it changes state and once it rechanges it boiling point it changes to gas or vapour.

What is the result of an uncontrolled chain reaction
vazorg [7]

A chain reaction is a nuclear reaction that occurs when sufficient unstable nuclei are present so that when one splits (decays), its products hit other unstable nuclei, causing them to decay and initiating a chain reaction.

If this reaction goes uncontrolled, a massive explosion occurs. Such a reaction is the type that went uncontrolled when nuclear bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. A chain reaction is much like dominoes all in a row; when one goes down, they all go down in order. The only way to block the chain reaction is to pull out a domino or to block the fall so the "chain" is broken.

The amount of fissionable material needed to accomplish a spontaneous chain reaction is called the critical mass. The critical mass for U-235 is about 1 kg. This explosive fission process takes place quickly, and an incredible amount of energy is released when it occurs.

So it would be C.

2.3 moles of CaBr2 contains how many molecules
kkurt [141]

Avogadro's law states that in every mole of a substance, there are 6.022 \times 10^{23} molecules.

This means that in 2.3 moles, there are 2.3(6.022 \times 10^{23})=\boxed{1.4 \times 10^{24} \text{ (to 2 sf)}}
