Stack effect? I'm not totally sure about this...

Explanation:

Large amount of tiny particles of water droplets, dust and smoke are present on a misty day. These tiny particles in the air scatter blue colour of white light passing through it. When this scattered light reaches our eyes, the smoke appears blue.

Answer:

Iron remains = 17.49 mg

Explanation:

Half life of iron -55 = 2.737 years (Source)

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{2.737}\ year^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.2533 year⁻¹

Time = 2.41 years

$[A_0]$ = 32.2 mg

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

So,

$[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.2533\times 2.41}\ mg$

$[A_t]=32.2\times e^{-0.610453}\ mg$

$[A_t]=17.49\ mg$

<u>Iron remains = 17.49 mg</u>

A neutral atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 would most likely form a bond with an atom having the configuration

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.

Explanation:

Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.

The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.

But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.

So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.
