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.

For a successful TLC experiment, you need to pay attention to the details. From the list of instructions and tips below, select
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Temperature is not that important in TLC.

Explanation:

The concept of TLC is that a solvent (or mixture of solvents) ascends in a capilary system and the differences in interections between solvent and capilary of the substances present allow their separation.

In this process it's important that the air is saturated with solvent vapor, so the lid is important; the solvent must ascend by the capilar, so making it stedy is important, also making sure the starting line is above the solvent level is crucial for this same reason; using a marker would ruin a experiment because most marker's ink (if not all of them) would be carried by the solvent as well, but carbon is not, so a pencil must be used.

What is the radius of a hydrogen atom whose electron is bound by 0.544 ev? express your answer with the appropriate units?
insens350 [35]
First, we need to calculate the principal quantum number n for this electron, using the equation:
E = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
where E is the energy that is used to bound the electron (here, E = - 0.544 eV).
- 0.544 eV = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
n x n = (- 13.60 eV) / (- 0.544 eV)
n x n = 25
n = 5

The orbital radius that is equal to the radius of a hydrogen atom is calculated using the equation:
r = 0.053 nm x n x n
r = 0.053 nm x 5 x 5
r = 0.053 nm x 25
r = 1.325 nm
