Answer:

The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

The Electronic Configuration of the elements is the arrangement of all electrons of an element in energy levels and sub-levels (orbitals).

There are 7 energy levels, numbered from 1 to 7, and in which electrons are distributed. Each level is divided into sub-levels. These sub-levels in which each level is divided can be up to 4, called: s, p, d, f. In the sub-level s there can only be a maximum of 2 electrons, in p there can be a maximum of 6 electrons, in the sub-level d 10 electrons and finally in the sub-level f there can be a maximum of 14 electrons

In level 1 there is only one sub-level, which will be the s. In level 2 there are 2 sub-levels, the s and the p. At level 3 there are 3 sub-levels s, p and d. And at level 4 there are 4 sub-levels, the s, the p, the d and the f.

Valencia electrons are the electrons found in the last electronic layer (called valence orbitals). These electrons are what determine the ability of the atom to form bonds. When an element joins another, it does so through its valence electrons. It is also possible to say that these electrons are the electrons furthest from the nucleus of the atom, which is why they participate in chemical reactions.

And electrons, in addition to determining the reactivity of the elements, allows to determine their location in the Periodic Table. All elements of the same group have the same number of valence electrons (This does not occur in transition metals). The valence electrons increase in number as one advances in a period. Then, at the beginning of the new period, the number decreases to one and begins to increase again.

Finally, it is possible to say that the statement is true.

Answer:

$V_{base}=17.9mL$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as the reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric is:

$2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

We can notice a 2:1 molar ratio between the base and the acid, for that reason for the titration at the equivalence point we find:

$n_{base}=2*n_{acid}$

Which in terms of concentrations and volumes is:

$M_{base}V_{base}=2*M_{acid}V_{acid}$

In such a way, solving for the required volume of base we find:

$V_{base}=\frac{2*M_{acid}V_{acid}}{M_{base}} \\\\V_{base}=\frac{2*0.820M*2.30mL}{0.211M}\\ \\V_{base}=17.9mL$

Best regards.

Answer 1) Option D : Discrete

Explanation : As in the example the scientist studies about the effects of growing human populations on the biodiversity which is found in a region, and where each region was selected had a different population density of humans from 1 to 10 million per 10 square miles. Then in each region the number of different species that can be found was recorded. So here the numerical data was collected for different regions. So, we can conclude it as discrete because when the variable takes on a countable number of values it is called as discrete.

Answer 2) Option D : The entertainment industry

Explanation : When people had enough time and money with them there was no need of creating the communications industry as it was a need not a luxurious thing. With the creation of Internet industry it is somewhat irrelevant. They had enough of time and money so building a labor industry seems to be a lame choice. So, the option of entertainment industry suits the best.
