Answer:
(A) A ball sitting on the ground
Explanation:
Answer;
-(2) An atom is mostly empty space.
Experiment
-Rutherford conducted the "gold foil" experiment where he shot alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold. The conclusion that can be drawn from these experiment is that an atom is mostly empty space.
-Rutherford found that a small percentage of the particles were deflected, while a majority passed through the sheet. This caused Rutherford to conclude that the mass of an atom was concentrated at its center, as the tiny, dense nucleus was causing the deflections.
Explanation:
During a chemical reaction, the atoms of the original substances gain, lose or share their electrons with those of the substances with which they are reacting. The reaction creates new substances made up of a new combination of atoms and a different configuration of electrons.
Answers:
(a) 1s² 2s²2p³; (b) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²; (c) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to solve this problem is to add electrons to the orbitals one-by-one until you have added the required amount.
Fill the subshells in the order listed in the diagram below. Remember that an s subshell can hold two electrons, while a p subshell can hold six, and a d subshell can hold ten.
(a) <em>Seven electrons
</em>
1s² 2s²2p³
There are two electrons in the 2s subshell and three in the 2p subshell. The remaining two electrons are in the inner 1s subshell.
(b) <em>22 electrons
</em>
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²
There are two electrons in the 4s subshell and two in the 2p subshell. The remaining 18 electrons are in the inner subshells.
(c) <em>17 electrons</em>
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵
There are two electrons in the 3s subshell and five in the 2p subshell. The remaining 10 electrons are in the inner subshells.
The correct answer is 2.53 g of precipitate, BaCrO4.
