Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Carbon is a non-metal and it belongs to group 14 of the periodic table.

Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. And, in order to attain stability a carbon atom can either lose its valence electron or it can gain 4 electrons from another atom by sharing or donating.

Hence, a carbon atom is able to form a single, double or a triple bond with its own or another atom. This makes carbon atom to form multiple bonds.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon bond to many elements simultaneously because it is capable of forming multiple covalent bonds.

Given following electron configurations, 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d9 and 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s14d10.

Explanations:- Part 1: We could count the total number of electrons by looking at the electron configurations. Both of these electrons configurations have 47 electrons. If we look at the periodic table then 47 is the atomic number of silver. So, the name of the element is silver and its represented as Ag.

Part 2: As per the rule, Completely filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. First electron configuration has 9 electrons in 4d and we know that d is more stable if it has 5 electrons(half filled) or it has 10 electrons(full filled).

For stability reasons, one of the electron from 5s goes to 4d and for this reason the second electron configuration is found most often in nature for silver.

Few other examples are Cr and Cu.

Determine the number of molecules in a 100. gram sample of CCl4
enyata [817]
100. g CCl4* (1 mol CCl4/ 153.8 g CCl4)* (6.02*10^23 CCl4 molecules/ 1 mol CCl4)= 3.91*10^23 CCl4 molecules.
(Note that the units cancel out so you get the answer)

An element has an atomic number of 30. How many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element? A. 30 protons, 30 el
Minchanka [31]
Atomic number shows the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. If the atomic number is 30, then it has 30 protons. The question says it is neutral, so it must have the same amount of protons and electrons.

A is the correct answer based on this.
