In the physical properties, it is mentioned that the element has 4 valence electrons. The elements in the periodic table are arranged such that, the number of valence electrons present in the neutral atoms belonging to a particular group  is equal to the group number.

Thus, the unidentified element can be best classified as a nonmetal in period 4

Ans C)

Which of the following electron configurations describes an element that is a noble gas?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

Noble gases are located in group VIIIA of the periodic table, this means that they have 8 eight electrons in their outermost shell.

Due to this characteristic, they are stable and do not react with other elements.

a. 1s22s22p4    The outermost shell of this electron configuration has 6 electrons, then this element has 6 electrons not 8. This configuration is of an element of the group VIA.

b. [Ne]2s22p2  The outermost shell of this element has 4 electrons, so this is not the configuration of a noble gas.

c. [Ar] 3s1  This element only has one electron in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of an alkaline metal.

d. 1s22s22p6 This element has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of a noble gas.

Which statements are true?
schepotkina [342]

Explanation:

  • Evaporation is defined as a process in which liquid state of water is changing into vapor state.

So, we need to break the bonds of liquid substance in order to convert it into vapor state. And, energy is absorbed for breaking of bonds which means that evaporation is an endothermic process.

Hence, the statement evaporation of water is an exothermic process is false.

  • When a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and water then this type of reaction is known as combustion reaction.

A combustion reaction will always release heat energy. Hence, combustion reaction is exothermic in nature.

  • When energy is transferred as heat from the surroundings to the system then it means energy is being absorbed by the system. And, absorption of heat is an endothermic process for which \Delta H is positive.
  • Whereas when energy is transferred from system to the surrounding then it means energy is released by the system which is an exothermic process.

Hence, for an exothermic process value of \Delta H is negative.

Thus, we can conclude that statements which are true are as follows.

  • A combustion reaction is exothermic.
  • When energy is transferred as heat from the system to the surroundings, \Delta H is negative.
  • For an endothermic reaction Deta H is positive.

3) The total number of orbital’s in a shell with principle quantum no (n) is​
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

nine

There are nine orbitals in the n = 3 shell. There is one orbital in the 3s subshell and three orbitals in the 3p subshell. The n = 3 shell, however, also includes 3d orbitals. The five different orientations of orbitals in the 3d subshell are shown in the figure below.

Gas and oxygen gas are the _______.
stiv31 [10]

i think it is Synthesis Reaction because in a synthesis reaction one or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance.

If there is two or more reactions yilding one product is another way to identify a synthesis reaction.

For the chemical equation for this synthesis reaction really looks like:

reactant +reactant = product


if im wrong correct me but have a blessed day/night
