Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

Noble gases are located in group VIIIA of the periodic table, this means that they have 8 eight electrons in their outermost shell.

Due to this characteristic, they are stable and do not react with other elements.

a. 1s22s22p4    The outermost shell of this electron configuration has 6 electrons, then this element has 6 electrons not 8. This configuration is of an element of the group VIA.

b. [Ne]2s22p2  The outermost shell of this element has 4 electrons, so this is not the configuration of a noble gas.

c. [Ar] 3s1  This element only has one electron in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of an alkaline metal.

d. 1s22s22p6 This element has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of a noble gas.

1. Calculate the RFM of Fe(NO3)2
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is 179.8524 grams

Explanation:

The Relative Formula Mass is the mass of one mole of a compound expressed in grams, obtained by adding together the Relative Atomic Masses, RAM, of the elements which makes the compound

The Relative Formula Mass of a compound is the same as its Relative Molecular Mass

The relative formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is given as follows;

The relative atomic mass of Fe = 55.845 amu

The relative atomic mass of nitrogen, N = 14.0067 amu

The relative atomic mass of oxygen, O = 15.999 amu

Therefore, we have;

The formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = (55.845 + 2×(14.0067 + 3×15.999)) amu = 179.8524 amu

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = 179.8524 grams.
