it means basically the same thing but can be used in different context. like if someone says, "lets diffuse the situation." it means lets separate it and find out what's going on with it. Like if you don't understand a sentence when you were younger your teacher would tell you to break down the sentence, and try to use context clues. What you are doing is diffusing the sentence so that your not looking at it as one big confusing sentence, your "breaking it down" and that helps you a lot. I hope I helped you, if not let me know and I can diffuse the topic a little more to make it more approachable and easy to understand. :)

In the activity series, any metal on the list can be oxidized by the ions of elements_______it.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Below

Nitric acid

Lead

Sodium nitrate

Explanation:

The activity series is an arrangement of metals in order of decreasing reactivity. Metals that are higher up in the series displace metals that are lower in the series from dilute solutions. Hence, when the ion of a metal that is lower in the series reacts with a metal that is higher up in the series, the latter is oxidized.

Dilute acids dissolve metals above hydrogen in the activity series such as as zinc and lead. Platinum is much lower than sodium in the activity series hence platinum does not react with sodium nitrate.

Give the chemical symbol for the element with the ground‑state electron configuration [ Ar ] 4 s 2 3 d 1 . symbol: Determine the
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Sc (Scandium) has the given electronic configuration.

Explanation:

The given electronic configuration is [Ar]4s^{2}3d^{1}.

The last electron enters the d-subshell and hence is a d-block element known as Scandium with chemical symbol Sc.

For 4s subshell

n=4,l=0 and m ranges from -l to +l so m=0.

For 3d subshell

n=3,l=2 and m ranges from -l to +l so m can take values -2,-1,0,+1,+2

Note:

l values for subshells:

s : 0

p : 1

d : 2

f : 3 and so on.
