How many unpaired electrons are in the c 2 + ​ ion?

Chemistry

Atomic number of C is 6. Hence, there are 6 electrons in carbon.

The electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2, 2s2, 2p2

Here, there are 2 unpaired electron. However, C2+ ions have 2 electrons less as compared to C.

Hence, electronic configuration of C 2+ ion is 1s2, 2s2. All the electrons are paired in this system. So there are no unpaired electrons in C 2+ ion.

What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion
DanielleElmas [232]
The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

What happens when an ecosystem reaches the maximum number of individuals it can support
tangare [24]

Answer:

A collapse of the population is rotting, food is not enough and livelihoods have become unfeasible to decrease the number of individuals again.

Another way is to generate mutations to generate a species more vulnerable to decreasing numbers.

In this way the overpopulation is controlled.

Explanation:

In ecosystems, if an increased population breaks the balance of this and begins a new constant adaptation of the extinction of some and overpopulation of others, which may be some chains break or remain unstable.

You find small pieces of ice instead of ice cubes in the freezer. State how this is possible.

Well, if u had a spilled liquid in there (we'll simply go with water) and you had the freezer at a cold temperature it would change (like,icycles on trees when it's snowing)
