Answer:
(a) 1s2 2s1
Explanation:
Electron configurations of atoms are in their ground state when the electrons completely fill each orbital before starting to fill the next orbital.
<h3><u>
Understanding the notation</u></h3>
It's important to know how to read and interpret the notation.
For example, the first part of option (a) says "1s2"
- The "1" means the first level or shell
- The "s" means in an s-orbital
- The "2" means there are 2 electrons in that orbital
<h3><u>
</u></h3><h3><u>
Other things to know about electron orbitals</u></h3>
It important to know which orbitals are in each shell:
- In level 1, there is only an s-orbital
- In level 2, there is an s-orbital and a p-orbital
- in level 3, there is an s-orbital, a p-orbital, and a d-orbital <em>(things get a little tricky when the d-orbitals get involved, but this problem is checking on the basic concept -- not the higher level trickery)</em>
So, it's also important to know how many electrons can be in each orbital in order to know if they are full or not. The electrons should fill up these orbitals for each level, in this order:
- s-orbitals can hold 2
- p-orbitals can hold 6
- d-orbitals can hold 10 <em>(but again, that's beyond the scope of this problem)</em>
<h3><u>
Examining how the electrons are filling the orbitals</u></h3>
<u>For option (a):</u>
- the 1s orbital is filled with 2, and
- the 2s orbital has a single electron in it with no other orbitals involved.
This is in it's ground state.
<u>For option (b):</u>
- the 1s orbital is filled with 2,
- the 2s orbital is filled with 2,
- the 2p orbital has 5 (short of a full 6), and
- the 3s orbital has a single electron in it.
Because the 3s orbital has an electron, but the lower 2p before it isn't full. This is NOT in it's ground state.
<u>For option (c):</u>
- the 1s orbital is filled with 2,
- the 2s orbital has 1 (short of a full 2), and
- the 2p orbital is filled with 6
Although the 2p orbital is full, since the 2s orbital before it was not yet full, this is NOT in it's ground state.
<u>For option (d):</u>
- the 1s orbital has 1 (short of a full 2), and
- the 2s orbital is filled with 2
Again, despite that the final orbital (in this case, the 2s orbital), is full, since the 1s orbital before it was not yet full, this is NOT in it's ground state.
Answer:
Other comparisons of the legislative process in both chambers shows that:
In both House and Senate: Committees review and mark up bills.
In the House of Representatives: Bills are introduced by the reading clerk.
In Senate: Bills can be filibustered.
In Senate: Only related amendments can be attached to bills.
In both House and Senate: Unrelated riders can be attached to bills.

CH4+ 2O2---> CO2+ 2H2O I believe would be correct.
The reaction is:
2 NO₂ (g) + F₂ (g) ⇆ 2 NO₂F (g)
The stoichiometric coefficients of the substances balance out each other to obey the Law of Definite Proportions. Now, you have to note that determining the reaction rate expression is specific to a certain type of reaction. So, this are determined empirically through doing experiments. But in chemical reaction engineering, to make things simple, you assume that the reaction is elementary. This means that the order of a reaction with respect to a certain substance follows their individual stoichiometric coefficients. What I'm saying is, the stoichiometric coefficients are the basis of our reaction rate orders. For this reaction, the rate order is 2 for NO₂, 1 for F₂ and 2 for NO₂F. When the forward and reverse reactions are in equilibrium, then it applies that:
Reaction rate of disappearance of reactants = Reaction rate of formation of products.
Therefore, we can have two reaction rate constants for this. But since the conditions manipulated are the reactant side, let's find the expression for reaction rate of disappearance of reactants.
-r = k[NO₂]²[F₂]
The negative sign before r signifies the rate of disappearance. If it were in terms of the product, that would have been positive. The term k denotes for the reaction rate constant. That is also empirical. As you can notice the stoichiometric coefficients are exponents of the concentrations of the reactants. Let's say initially, there are 1 M of NO₂ and 1 M of F₂. Then,
-r = k(1)²(1)
-r = k
Now, if we change 1 M of NO₂ by increasing it to its half, it would now be 1.5 M NO₂. Then, if we quadruple the concentration of F₂, that would be 4 M F₂. Substituting the values:
-r = k(1.5)²(4)
-r = 9k
So, as you can see the reaction rate increase by a factor of 9.
