Principal quantum number is n = 2, principal quantum number gives the energy shells electrons reside in,
angular momentum quantum number , these are the number of subshells and gives how many subshells are there in energy shells, values for l range from 0 to n-1
magnetic quantum number -m- gives the specific orbital in the subshells and their orientation.
spin quantum number gives the spin of the electrons.

in this case, n = 2
the types of subshells in n=2 are 0 and 1
0 - s subshell 
1 - p subshell
the  specific number of orbitals are given by -l to +l
when l = 1
then -1, 0 and +1
therefore there are 3 orbitals in p subshell and orbitals are in 3 orientations
each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, 
since there are 3 orbitals each holding 6, there are 6 electrons to which these quantum numbers are the same
answer is 6

Answer : The number of electrons held in n = 2, l = 1 are, 6 electrons

Explanation :

There are 4 quantum numbers :

Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as m_l. The value of this quantum number ranges from (-l\text{ to }+l). When l = 2, the value of m_l will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as m_s The value of this is +\frac{1}{2} for upward spin and -\frac{1}{2} for downward spin.

As we are given that,

n=2

l=1

m_l=-1,0,1

m_s=+\frac{1}{2}\text{ and }-\frac{1}{2} (For each sub-shell)

From this we conclude that, there are 3 orbitals and each orbital contains 2 electrons. So, the number of electrons held in an atom are, 3\times 2=6 electrons.

Hence, the number of electrons held in n = 2, l = 1 are, 6 electrons

The orbital radius of Venus is 0.72 AU. What is this distance in kilometers? (One AU is about 150 million kilometers.)
Evgen [1.6K]
<span>The answer is D) 108 million kilometers. To solve this problem, you must perform a simple unit conversion calculation. 1 AU = 150,000,000 km is the conversion factor. Take the radius of Venus, .72 AU, and multiply it by 150,000,000 km/1 AU. You flip the conversion factor so that the units of the original distance in the numerator cancel the units in the denominator of the conversion factor. completing the calculation gives you 108,000,000 km</span>

How are tectonic plates related to earthquakes and volcanoes?
patriot [66]

Answer

Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.

If a solution has a pOH of 8.71, what is the [H+]?
TEA [102]

Answer: 5.1\times 10^{-6}M

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH+pOH=14

Putting in the values:

pH=14-8.71=5.29

5.29=-log[H^+]

[H^+]=5.1\times 10^{-6}

Thus [H^+] is 5.1\times 10^{-6}M
