Answer: The electron configuration of carbon atom is written as 1s²,2s², 2p².
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of an atom is defined as the arrangement of electrons into the shells or orbit of an atom. The constituents of an atom are proton, neutron and electron. the nucleus of an atom, where most of its mass are concentrated, consists of neutrons and protons fused together. Electrons occupy the shells surrounding the nucleus. The shells are lettered K, L, M, N and so on. Numerically, K shell is numbered 1, L is 2 and so on. These numbers also correspond with the increase in the energy level. All the electrons in K shell for instance belong to the first energy level and they have equal energy.
There is a limit to the number of electrons that can be found in a shell. This can be obtained by a formula 2n² where "n" is the energy level number of the shell.
K: 2n² = 2 × 1² = 2
L: 2n² = 2× 2² = 8
These shells are further subdivided into subshells. There are 4 subshells, s, p, d, and f. Each subshell can hold a different number of electrons.
This electron configuration of carbon can be written as 1s² 2s² 2p² where 1s, 2s, and 2p are the occupied subshells, and the superscript "2" is the number of electrons in each of these subshells.
The answers are A. Pseudoscience is often based only on opinions; D. Pseudoscience often involves explanations of beliefs; E. Pseudoscience includes subjective ideas.
Explanation:
Pseudosciences comprises disciplines or theories that do not follow scientific standards but claim to be factual. This includes areas such as clairvoyance or astrology because this is not based on evidence but subjectivity. Indeed, the base of most pseudosciences are personal beliefs, opinions, or subjective ideas. Moreover, complex theories or methods are created to try to explain these beliefs, but because they do not follow scientific standards they are not considered as valid. In this context, options A, D, and E are correct.
Displaced volume:
final volume - <span>initial volume
1 mL = 1 cm</span>³<span>
38.5 mL - 35.0 mL = 3.5 cm</span>³
hope this helps!
The extent to which a given measurement agrees with the standard value for that measurement
Answer:
Thermal decomposition
Explanation:
Calcium carbonate can be broken down by heating. The following equation represents this chemical change.
CaCO₃(s) ⇒ CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
The scientific term for this process is thermal decomposition.
- Thermal refers to the fact that heat is required.
- Decomposition refers to the kind of reaction in which a big substance breaks down into smaller substances.
