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.

Grignard reactions are highly exothermic and are performed in ether solvent. There is a real risk of fire during this reaction.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Ideally, extinguish the flames with a glass watch or beaker.

Explanation:

When you cover the distillation equipment with a watch glass or beaker, you reduce the oxygen content and it is completely eliminated thanks to the fire itself that consumes it. Once there is no more oxygen the fire is extinguished and it should take no more than 2 or 3 seconds to occur this situation

It is the easiest and most careful way to extinguish the fire during the Grignard reaction

What is the pH of a substance that has a hydrogen ion concentration of<br> 8.8x10^(-5) M? *
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The pH of the substance is 4,06.

Explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H +)

pH= -log (8.8x10^-5)

<em>pH=4,06</em>
