Molybdenum and Rhodium, I believe. All of the elements in these 2 groups follow unusual orbital filling rules.

Hope this helped!

Answer: The elements that have 3 unpaired electrons in their +3 oxidation states are Molybdenum and Palladium.

Explanation: The elements in the second transition series are:

Yttrium (Y), Zirconium (Zr), Niobium (Nb), Molybdenum (Mo), Technetium (Tc), Ruthenium (Ru), Rhodium (Rh), Palladium (Pd), Silver (Ag) and Cadmium (Cd).

The electronic configuration of these elements are:

Y=[Kr]5s^24d^1             ;      Y^{3+}=[Kr]

Zr=[Kr]5s^24d^2           ;      Zr^{3+}=[Kr]4d^1

Nb=[Kr]5s^14d^4           ;      Nb^{3+}=[Kr]4d^2

Mo=[Kr]5s^14d^5           ;     Mo^{3+}=[Kr]4d^3

Tc=[Kr]5s^14d^6            ;     Tc^{3+}=[Kr]4ds^4

Ru=[Kr]5s^14d^7            ;     Ru^{3+}=[Kr]4d^5

Rh=[Kr]5s^14d^8            ;     Rh^{3+}=[Kr]4d^6

Pd=[Kr]5s^04d^{10}          ;     Pd^{3+}=[Kr]4d^7

Ag=[Kr]5s^14d^{10}           ;     Ag^{3+}=[Kr]4d^8

Cd=[Kr]5s^24d^{10}          ;     Cd^{3+}=[Kr]4d^9

From the above configurations of the elements in their +3 ionic state, the elements having 3 unpaired electrons are Molybdenum and Palladium.

Why do we balance chemical reaction
morpeh [17]

Hey there!

We balance chemical equations because of the law of conservation of mass.

The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

The products of a chemical reaction must be equal to the reactants to follow the law of conservation of mass.

Hope this helps!

Using VSEPR model, how is the molecular arrangement about the central atom (molecular geometry) for XeF4?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Square planar.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it can be demonstrated that the central atom Xenon in XeF₄ has a sp³d² hybridization which means that its geometry is likely to be octahedral.  Nevertheless Applying by applying the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model to in order to minimize the repulsion among lone pairs, bond pairs and lone pair-bond pairs, we we realize repulsion is actually minimized when lone pairs are anti to one another and the fluorine atoms are in equatorial position, for that reason, the corrected and properly exhibited geometry or molecular arrangement of the compound turns out square planar. You can verify it on the attached picture.

Regards.

One of the products of the combustion reaction below:
Ratling [72]

Answer:

H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C₅H₁₂ + O₂      →     CO₂ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂      →     5CO₂ + 6H₂O

The given reaction is combustion reaction. The balance equation shows  that there are equal number of moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen on both side of equation thus it follows the law of conservation of mass.

Combustion reaction:

The reaction in which substance react with oxygen and produced carbon dioxide and water.

Mostly hydrocarbons burns in the presence of oxygen and form carbon dioxide and water.
