The answer is (4) Rb. From observation, we can find that these four elements are from first column. The melting point from top to the bottom is from high to low. So the answer is (4).

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that on moving down a group there will be decrease in melting point of the element because of increase in number of shells.

As a result, outermost electrons move away from the nucleus due to which there will be decrease in force of attraction between the protons and valence electrons. Hence, there will be decrease in melting point.

Therefore, the given elements are of same group and Rb has largest atomic size.

Thus, we can conclude that Rb has the lowest melting point.

jonny [76]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d5

Explanation:

According to the Aufbau principle, electrons are filled in orbitals in order of increasing energy. The energy of orbitals in the electronic configuration of manganese increases from left to right, hence 3d orbital is much greater in energy than a 3p orbital.

The arrangement of orbitals in order of increasing energy is shown in the answer above.

A scientist has 0.12 miles of a gas at a pressure of 4.06 kPa and a volume of 14 liters in an enclosed container. What is the te
natka813 [3]

Answer:

56972.17K

Explanation:

P = 4.06kPa = 4.06×10³Pa

V = 14L

n = 0.12 moles

R = 8.314J/Mol.K

T = ?

We need ideal gas equation to solve this question

From ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the ideal gas

V = volume the gas occupies

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

PV = nRT

T = PV / nR

T = (4.06×10³ × 14) / (0.12 × 8.314)

T = 56840 / 0.99768

T = 56972.17K

Note : we have a large number for temperature because we converted the value of pressure from kPa to Pa
