Answer: Two valence electrons.

Explanation: Ionization energy is the energy required to remove electrons from valence shell of an atom in its gaseous state.

More closer are the electrons to the nucleus, more energy is required to remove them. Ionization energy increases as the effective nuclear charge increases.

First two ionization energy values are low and there isn't a much difference between them but the third ionization energy is very much high as compared to first and second ionization energy values. The fourth ionization energy value is also closer to third ionization energy value.

It indicates that first and second electrons are removed from same shell. Similarly, third and fourth electrons are also removed from same shell which is different than the shell from which first and second electrons are removed.

So, outer most shell that is valence shell has only two electrons. Third ionization energy has increased a lot as the third electron is removed from the inner shell and first two electrons are removed from valence shell.

Provide only the major alkene product that results when n,n-dimethylhexan-2-amine undergoes cope elimination?
Fofino [41]

The major alkene  product that results when n,n-dimethylhexan-2-amine undergoes cope elimination is hexene or hex-1-ene.

The reaction in which an amine is oxidize to an intermediate called an N-oxide which , when heated , acts as base in an intramolecular elimination reaction. The oxidation of tertiary amine into N-oxide is called cope reaction.

This elimination gives the less substituted alkene along with more substituted alkene which is Zaitsev product.

Example: Cope elimination of  n,n-dimethylhexan-2-amine form hexene.

A baseball player hits a ball. Which is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head?
Elan Coil [88]

The right option is; b. mechanical

Mechanical energy is the best description of the energy of the ball as it flies over the pitcher’s head.

Mechanical energy is the energy that an object acquires due to its position or due to its motion. From the question, the baseball player has chemical potential energy (stored as food) which is transformed into work. As the baseball player hits the ball, there is energy exchange in which the ball acquires energy to perform its work. The energy obtained by the ball upon which work is done is called mechanical energy.

How do you know how to order an empirical formula?
inessss [21]

Answer:

Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem. the mass of each element = the percent given. Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table. Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.
