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.

What statement does not accurately describe the following equation? C6H12O6+--->6H20+6CO2+energy A) oxygen is a react ant B)
STatiana [176]
The answer is B. The complete equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 -->6H2O + 6CO2 + energy. So we can know that A and C and D is right. For B, the reaction release energy so it is exothermic reaction.

vekshin1

Answer:

The answer is pyruvate → lactate

Explanation:

In the reaction of glycolysis, glucose breaks down to form pyruvate yielding ATP and NADH.

Under or during strenuous exercise, which is an anaerobic condition, lactate is formed by the reoxidization of NADH and the conversion of pyruvate to lactate.
