The answer is potassium. It would be 4, and for neon would be 2. Just total which row of the periodic table you are on. The "L" tells you whether the highest-energy electron is in an "s" orbital (L=0) or a "p" orbital (L=1) or a "d" orbital (L=2) or an "f" orbital (L=3). The way in which these orbitals are filled is: for each of the first three rows (up to argon), two electrons in the "s" orbital are filled first, then 6 electrons in the "p"orbitals. The row where the potassium also starts with filling the "s" orbital at the new "n" level (4) but then goes back to satisfying up the "d" orbitals of n=3 before it seals up the "p"s for n=4.
The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or basic. Blue litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions and red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions, with the color change occurring over the pH range 4.5–8.3 at 25 °C (77 °F).
Answer:
A device that does work with only one movement and changes the size or direction of a force is a simple machine.
Explanation:
- For applying force, any used basic mechanical devices are simple machines.
- Simple machine changes the direction as well as the amplitude of the applied force i.e. we can increase or decrease the magnitude of the force.
- A simple machine is the most basic mechanism to use the force as we need in big mechanical machines.
- Some of the examples of simple machines are inclined plane, lever, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw.
