The answer is (1) Ar. The electron configuration of calcium ion, Ca2+ is 2, 8, 8. The ground state of Ar atom also has electron configuration of 2, 8, 8. So the answer is (1).

atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles; electrons, protons and neutrons

atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element. In ground state atoms, the number of electrons and protons are the same.

the electronic configuration of Ca in the ground state is

Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

when Ca loses its 2 valence electrons, it becomes positively charged and the electronic configuration becomes

Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

number of electrons in Ca²⁺ is 18

the atom in the ground state would have the same number of electrons and protons. Therefore number of protons are 18. then the atomic number of the element is 18

the atom having an atomic number of 18 is Ar.

the answer is 1) Ar

Why is it important for a scientist studying greenhouse effect to know about mater,forces and energy
vova2212 [387]
<span>In the 19th century, scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere cause a "greenhouse effect" which affects the planet's temperature. These scientists were interested chiefly in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century, Svante Arrhenius calculated that emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming. Other scientists dismissed his idea as faulty. In 1938, G.S. Callendar argued that the level of carbon dioxide was climbing and raising global temperature, but most scientists found his arguments implausible. It was almost by chance that a few researchers in the 1950s discovered that global warming truly was possible. In the early 1960s, C.D. Keeling measured the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: it was rising fast. Researchers began to take an interest, struggling to understand how the level of carbon dioxide had changed in the past, and how the level was influenced by chemical and biological forces. They found that the gas plays a crucial role in climate change, so that the rising level could gravely affect our future. (This essay covers only developments relating directly to carbon dioxide, with a separate essay for Other Greenhouse Gases. Theories are discussed in the essay on Simple Models of Climate.)</span>

Select the compound that is most likely to increase the solubility of ZnSe when added to water.NaCnMgBr2NaClKClO4
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

NaCl.

Explanation:

In the solution, ZnSe ionizes to Zn^2^+ and Se^2^- . Following reaction represents the ionization of ZnSe in solution -

ZnSe ⇄ Zn^2^+ + Se^2^-

As we want to increase the solubility of ZnSe, we must decrease the concentration of dissociated ions so that the reaction continues to forward direction.

If we add NaCl to this solution, then we have Na^+ and Cl^- in the solution which will be formed by the ionization of NaCl.

Now, Zn^2^+ in the solution will react with two Cl^- ions to form ZnCl_2 as follows -

Zn^2^++2Cl^- ⇄ ZnCl_2

Due to this reaction the concentration of Zn^2^+ will decrease in the solution and more ZnSe can be soluble in the solution.
