Explanation:

Atomic number of copper is 29 and it is a d-block element.The electronic configuration of copper is as follows.

Electronic configuration of copper is [Ar]4s^1 3d^{10}

According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.

But completely filled d-shell is more stable in nature. Hence, one electron from the 4s shell goes into the d-orbital so the copper atom can attain stability.

So, when a copper atom loses an electron then it goes out from the 4s shell first.

how does the increased salinity of the dead sea due to fertiliser industry impact the microscopic organisms that live there​
polet [3.4K]
The sea is called "dead" because its high salinity prevents macroscopic aquatic organisms, such as fish and aquatic plants, from living in it, though minuscule quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are present. In times of flood, the salt content of the Dead Sea can drop from its usual 35% to 30% or lower.

kvasek [131]
So basically, the change in color effects the amount of cations in the solution making it a physical change rather than a chemical one, defying the law of conservation of mass! I hope this helped! (The only time the change in color affects the amount of cations is in the Alkaline Earth Metals)

Which of the following natural resources cant be reused
ohaa [14]
Hi there! Air and sunlight can definitely be reused. Those are abundant and renewable resources. Therefore, A and D are eliminated. There is a limited amount of water, however, it's impossible to run out of it to the point that there's no more on Earth. C is out. The only answer choice that makes sense is coal, because it's a nonrenewable resource, and it takes millions of years to make more of. It's a fossil fuel, so once we use them up, we can't get anymore during our lives. The answer is B: coal.
