Chemistry

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

What is the definition of bond length?
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

C: No correct response

Explanation:

Bond length is simply defined as the distance between two atoms that are participating in a bond.

Now, looking at the options, none of the options correctly defines it this way. The closest is option E which is "distance between two electrons" but it uses the word electrons instead of atoms. Thus none of the statements are correct

Consider two different containers, each filled with 2 moles of Ne(g). One of the containers is rigid and has constant volume. Th
zysi [14]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

For the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), we can notice that when the temperatures increases, the pressure or the volume must increase.

For the container with constant volume, the pressure will increase. Because density is mass/volume, in this container the density will not change.

For the other container, the pressure must be the same as the external, so it will not change, then the volume must increase. When the volume increases, the density decreases (density = mass/volume), so the pressure doesn't change and the density decreases.

What is the effect of adding more CO2 to the following equilibrium reaction? CO2 + H2O H2CO3 A. More H2CO3 is produced. B. More
Gre4nikov [31]
I think the answer is D no change. Though you add more CO2, but the pressure is not mentioned. If the pressure is constant and the reaction is already balanced, the H2O is also saturation and can not absorb more CO2.
