How many electrons does a co atom have in its 3d subshell?

1 answer:

6 0

Co is the symbol for element cobalt. Atomic number of Co is 27.
1st shell has s orbital and can hold up to 2 electrons.
2nd shell has s and p orbital and can hold upto 8 electrons
3rd shell has s, p and d orbital and can hold upto 18 electrons
In Co electronic configuration upto p orbital in 3rd energy shell is
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
After 3p orbital, electrons start filling in the s orbital in 4th energy shell as 4s orbital has lower energy than 3d therefore it fills 4s before 3d, after it fills 2 electrons in 4s, remaining electrons fill 3d orbital

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁷
in the 3d subshell there are 7 electrons

. How many grams of NaOH would you need to make 450 mL of a 0.250 M NaOH solution

Stella [2.4K]

You have molarity and you have volume. Use the formula :
Molarity(M)= Moles(N)/Liter(L) to get the solution.
450 ml= .450 L
.250 = N/.450
N=.1125 moles of NaOH.
And since you know the moles, use the molar mass to figure out the grams.
 (40g/mol NaOH) x (.1125 mol) =
4.5g of NaOH.

Hope it helps. Good luck on chemistry.

In which of the following compounds does the carbonyl stretch in the IR spectrum occur at the lowest wavenumber?

klio [65]

Answer:

a. Cyclohexanone

Explanation:

The principle of IR technique is based on the vibration of the bonds by using the energy that is in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For each bond, there is a specific energy that generates a specific vibration. In this case, you want to study the vibration that is given in the carbonyl group C=O. Which is located around 1700 cm-1.

Now, we must remember that the lower the wavenumber we will have less energy. So, what we should look for in these molecules, is a carbonyl group in which less energy is needed to vibrate since we look for the molecule with a smaller wavenumber.

If we look at the structure of all the molecules we will find that in the last three we have heteroatoms (atoms different to carbon I hydrogen) on the right side of the carbonyl group. These atoms allow the production of resonance structures which makes the molecule more stable. If the molecule is more stable we will need more energy to make it vibrate and therefore greater wavenumbers.

The molecule that fulfills this condition is the cyclohexanone.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
