The electronic configuration of the element located in the fourth row of group 5A is \boxed{\left[ {{\text{Ar}}}\right]3{d^{10}}4{s^2}4{p^3}} .

Further explanation:

The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom in the atomic orbitals. There are two states for an electron: ground as well as the excited state. The configuration of the atom in the lowest possible energy levels is called the ground-state electronic configuration. When an electron jumps from the stable ground state to some higher level, that state is called the excited state, and the electronic configuration corresponding to this state is known as the excited-state half-filled configuration.

The filling of electrons in different energy levels or orbitals is done in accordance with the following three rules.

1. Aufbau principle: The principle states that the electrons are filled in various orbitals in the increasing order of their energies as follows:

1s

2. Hund’s rule: Electron pairing will not start until each orbital is singly occupied.

3. Pauli’s exclusion principle: According to this principle, all the four quantum numbers \left({n,\;l,\;{m_l},\;{m_s}}\right)  for any two electrons can never be the same. In an orbital, the spin of two electrons has to be different. If one electron has the clockwise spin, the other would have the anticlockwise spin and vice-versa.

Group 5A belongs to the pnictogen family. It includes elements like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi). The general electronic configuration of this group is  . The element that is present in the fourth row of this group is n{s^2}n{p^3}  arsenic (As), and its electronic configuration is  \left[{{\text{Ar}}}\right]3{d^{10}}4{s^2}4{p^3}  .

If 2 objects have the same volume, but one has more mass than the other, are the densities the same or different? Explain
laiz [17]

A chemist has to prepare 250.0 mL of a 0.300 M Na2SO4(aq) solution. What mass, in grams, of sodium sulfate (formula mass 142.05
Sedbober [7]

The mass of sodium sulphate, Na₂SO₄, required to prepare the solution is 10.65 g

<h3>How to determine the mole of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
  • Volume = 250 mL = 250 / 1000 = 0.25 L
  • Molarity = 0.3 M
  • Mole of Na₂SO₄ =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.3 × 0.25

Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole

<h3>How to determine the mass of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
  • Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ = 142.05 g/mol
  • Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole
  • Mass of Na₂SO₄ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 × 142.05

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 10.65 g

Thus, 10.65 g of Na₂SO₄ is needed to prepare the solution.

An element's atomic mass does not include the mass of its <br> Electrons <br> Protons <br> Neutrons
klio [65]
  Mass  of  electrons  are not  included when  calculating  the  atomic  mass  of   element.  Atomic  mass  of  the   element  is  equal  to   proton  +  neurons.  Example  the    the  mass  number  of  Nitrogen can   be  calculated as      7 protons  +  7  neutrons  to  give 14 .  thus  nitrogen  has  a  mass  number  of  14
