First let's find out the oxidation number of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound.

The oxidation number of cation, K is +1. Hence, the total charge of the anion, [Fe(CN)₆] is -4. CN has charge has -1. There are 6 CN in anion. Let's assume the oxidation number of Fe is 'a'.

Sum of the oxidation numbers of each element  = Charge of the compound
                                                          a + 6 x (-1) = -4
                                                                     a -6 = -4
                                                                         a = +2

Hence, oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ is +2. 

Now Fe has the atomic number as 26. Hence, number of electrons in Fe at ground state is 26. 
Electron configuration = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s² = [Ar] 3d⁶ 4s²

When making Fe²⁺, Fe releases 2 electrons. Hence, the number of electrons in Fe²⁺ is 26 - 2 = 24.
Hence, the electron configuration of Fe²⁺ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶
                                                                      = [Ar] 3d⁶

Hence, the number of 3d electrons of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound is 6.

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The atom shown in the image has 2 core electrons.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within an atom. Therefore the total number of electrons surrounding the nucleus in the given specie is 7.

 So;

   We have 2 core electrons

   And 5 valence electrons

The core electrons are the inner orbital electrons.

The valence electrons are the outermost electrons.

The North Pole of a magnet will attract to the South Pole of another magnet. True or False
hodyreva [135]

pretty sure its True hope this helped

Explanation:

A magnet has two ends called poles; one end is the north pole and the other is the south pole. A north pole will attract a south pole; the magnets pull on each other. But the two north poles will push each other away. ... The magnet is attracted by the earth's magnetic north pole and always points in that direction.

Answer: Using more fossil fuels

Explanation: Burning fossil fuels releases Green House gasses into the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps in heat, which causes global temperatures to increase.

A sample of gas in a 14.6 L flexible container is at 25.0oC and 1.00atm. What is the volume of the sample when heated to 220.0oC
inn [45]

Answer: 24.1 L

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

V_1=14.6L\\T_1=25.0^oC=(25+273)K=298K\\V_2=?\\T_2=220.0^0C=(220+273)K=493K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{14.6}{298K}=\frac{V_2}{493}\\\\V_2=24.1L

Thus the volume of the sample when heated to 220.0oC and the pressure is constant is 24.1 L
