An atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell. how many unpaired electrons does it have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]2 years ago
4 0

The answer is 3.

That is if an atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell, then it has 3 unpaired electrons.

As the outer shell have 1 s orbital too and that is fully filled and not available for bonding so it must have 3 unpaired electrons.

So the number of unpaired electrons in an atom that is having 5 electrons in its outer shell is 3.

A student observes that water in a pot on a burner becomes hotter explain how energy is conserved in the situation
Daniel [21]

  • The water in the pot becomes hotter as a result of heat transfer.

  • <em>Energy can be transferred from a region to another , but there will still the same overall amount of energy</em> ( energy conservation)

  • When a pot containing water  is  placed on the stove and  heat is applied with the burner, there is a flow of heat from the burner to the water.

  • Heat will be transferred from the burner to the pot, then there will be transferred of heat from the pot to the water, the molecules there in the water  will be energized as a result of the heat transfer until the boiling point  is  reached.

  • Energy transfer can take place in three form, this could be conduction, radiation or convention.

  • Convention which is a cyclical process is the one that occurs in fluids only so as a result of convection , the water at the bottom will be heated and the molecules start moving and it will rise till it get to the water at the top of the pot.

<em>Therefore, the water is heated as a result of heat transfer.</em>

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<em>C. Potential energy</em>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy are both forms of potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy, when an object is not in motion it has stored energy. When an object is an motion it has kinetic energy. An object posses gravitational potential energy when it is above or below the zero height.
