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.

Calculate the molarity of a solution of sodium hydroxide, naoh, if 23.64 ml of this solution is needed to neutralize 0.5632 g of
GuDViN [60]
The  molarity  of  NaOH  needed  is  calculated   as  follows
calculate  the  moles  of  KhC8h4O4

that  is  moles  =  mass/molar  mass  of  KhC8h4O4(204.22 g/mol)

=0.5632g /204.22g/mol=  2.76  x10^-3  moles

write the  equation  for  reaction

khc8h4O4  +  NaOH  ---> KNaC8h4O4  +  H2O

from  the  equation  above  the   reacting  ratio   of   KhC8h4O4  to  NaOh  is  1:1  therefore  the  moles  of  Naoh  is  also  2.76  x10^-3  moles

molarity  of NaOh  =  (moles  of  NaOh /  volume ) x  1000

that  is { (2.76  x10^-3) / 23.64}  x100  =0.117 M

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

96 m/s.

Explanation:

Distance equals speed x time,

12 x 8, so the distance is 96 m/s.

How does the level of intermoleculars bonding between the particles in matter affect the state of matter the particles are takin
Lunna [17]

Explanation:

Intermolecular force s between particles in a matter holds particles of molecules together in substances.

  • The stronger the intermolecular forces the more solid a substance is.
  • The weakest intermolecular attraction are found in gases as they have negligible attractive forces in between their particles.
  • Solids are held together by very strong attractive forces.
  • Liquids have weak forces holding them in place and this allows for a little movement.
  • Gases are typically have very weak to negligible attractive forces.
