Answer:

==> Presence of unpaired electrons.

==> Electrons in ns and electrons in (n-1)d orbitals are used to form bonds because of their similarities in energies.

Explanation:

The d- metals are also known as the transition metals with metal elements such as the ones given in the question, that is; Copper, iron and Manganese. Others include chromium, Nickel, Cobalt and so on.

The reason behind many d-metals forming cations with different oxidation states is mainly because of the unpaired electrons. Because Unpaired electrons are unstable they tends to attract or bond with other species chemically.

Also, many d-metals form cations with different oxidation states because Electrons in ns and electrons in (n-1)d orbitals are used to form bonds because of their similarities in energies.

Answer:

They have electrons in their 3d- and 4s-orbital for bond formation.

Explanation:

d- metals or transition metal are metal which form ion with partially filled d-orbital. Examples are iron and manganese.

The metals have 2 electrons in their 4s orbital. If only this is used for bonding, they will form compounds where they have oxidation State of +2 as seen in MnO.

If two 4s and one of 3d electrons are used, oxidation state of +3 is formed as seen in FeCl3.

If two 2s electron I used with two 3d electrons, compound with oxidation state of +4 is formed as seen in MnO2

For each pair below, select the sample that contains the largest number of moles. Pair A 2.50 g O2 2.50 g N2
raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pair  2.50g of O₂ and 2.50g of  N₂

The atoms sample with the largest number of moles since the masses are the same would be the one with lowest molar mass according the the equation below:

Number of moles = \frac{mass }{molarmass}

Atomic mass of O = 16g and N = 14g

Molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of N₂ = 14 x 2 = 28gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{2.5}{32} = 0.078mole

Number of moles of N₂ = \frac{2.5}{28} =  0.089mole

We see that N₂ has the largest number of moles

which atomic particle determines the chemical behavior of an atom the nucleus, neutron, electron, proton or none of these
dusya [7]
The chemical behavior of an atoms is determine by the formation or destruction of chemical bonds. The chemical bonds are the result of the interaction of the electrons of the atoms. Chemical properties of the atoms are given by how attached are the shell electrons attached to the nucleus and how they interact with other atoms. Chemical changes are the result of exchange valence electrons of the atoms. So, <span>the answer is the atomic particle that determines the chemical behavior of an atom is the electron, because it is the particle that is active in chemical bonding.</span>

Lucia is playing with magnetic toy vehicles. She has two identical toy vehicles (purple and pink) that start on opposite sides o
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The potential energy of both toy vehicles (purple and pink) decreased. Since the pink toy was moved closer to the magnet, it will have less potential energy because of the short distance it will take to travel to the magnet. Although the purple toy is now closer to the magnet, it is still pretty far and will have a somewhat big potential energy when traveling to the magnet.

When Brian first sorted out his thoughts, he figured this was the first day after the crash and what did he think would happen n
Leya [2.2K]

It should be noted that when Brian first sorted out his thoughts, the first thing that he thought would happen next is that he would probably be rescued that day.

It should be noted that in Chapter 5 of Hatchet, Brian wakes up in the forest and then, he realized that he was desperately thirsty.

When Brian first sorted out his thoughts, he figured this was the first day after the crash and that he would probably be rescued that day. He believed that he was going to wither up and die if he doesn't get anything that he'll drink.
