I believe it would be better to use an orbital designation than the written configuration, if the number of electrons in the ground state of the atom are quite high for the given element, as above 50, for instance.

This saves space and also one can see the discrete quantized energy levels associated with the subshells of the main energy levels if written in orbital designation.

Answer:

It would be better to use an orbital notation when the electron configuration aims to show the spin.

Explanation:

When we have the electron configuration for an atom, we can use a written configuration with numbers, letters, and superscripts. Those will show the energetic level, the letter S, P, d, F and the number of electrons in each one of those. Nevertheless, it is not possible to study the spin or other important properties through this representation form.

Due to the above, when it is necessary to see al the quantum numbers in an electron configuration we have to use the orbital notation diagram. This diagram shows the same information as the written previously presented, energetic level, letter, amount of electrons and besides that, it shows the different orientations and the spin of every electron.

Summarize the relationship between volume, temperature and pressure (use words like “inversely
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

P and V: inversely proportional

P and T: directly proportional

V and T: inversely proportional

Explanation:

For pressure and volume, as the volume goes up, meaning the container gets bigger, the pressure would go down. There would be more room in the container, so there would be less collisions between the molecules themselves and between the molecules and the container. This makes them inversely proportional.

For pressure and temperature, as the pressure goes up, there are more collisions, so the particles move faster. Temperature is the speed of the particles, so, since both pressure and temperature would go up at the same time, they are directly proportional.

For volume and temperature, this is similar to the PV relationship. As volume increases, there are less collisions between the particles. This means that the particles are going to move slower. Therefore, as volume goes up, temperature goes down, so they are inversely proportional.

Sorry this is super long, but I hope it fully explains the question for you! ☺

Why is earth's surface warmer in the northern hemisphere when it is summer there
RideAnS [48]
 <span>By definition, summer is the portion of the year in which the hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, so that sunlight strikes the surface more directly. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa</span>

Calcium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The balanced net ionic equation is
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.

When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:

<em>Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)</em>

<em>Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.</em>
