Answer: penetration is the ability of an electron in a given orbital to approach the nucleus closely. Shielding refers to the fact that core electrons reduce the degree of nuclear attraction felt by the orbital electrons. Shielding is the opposite of penetration. The most penetrating orbital is the least screening orbital. The order of increasing shielding effect/decreasing penetration is s<p<d<f.

Explanation:

The order of penetrating power is 1s>2s>2p>3s>3p>4s>3d>4p>5s>4d>5p>6s>4f....

Since the 3p orbital is more penetrating than the 3d orbital, it will lie nearer to the nucleus and thus possess lower energy.

NH3 + HCl---&gt; NH4Cl What is the Chemical reaction
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

A combination reaction

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between ammonia and hydrochloric acid as shown below:

         NH₃  +  HCl →  NH₄Cl

is a combination reaction.

In a combination reaction, two compounds combines together to give one compound.

A combination reaction is also known as a synthesis reaction.

A single product forms from tow or more reactants.

The driving force for such reaction is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.
