Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of argon is 18 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}.

Also, it is known that number of electrons in K, L and M shells of argon are 2, 8, 8.

Thus, we can conclude that an atom of argon in the ground state tends not to bond with an atom of a different element because the argon atom has a total of eight valence electrons.

So, as per the octet rule, last sub-shell of argon is completely filled. Hence, it will not form any bond with any other atom.

How is energy transferred during convection?
Natalija [7]

The field of energy is wide and interesting due to it can be expressed by differents way.

The thermal energy is associated like internal energy of the atoms or molecules of a substance.  The transfer of thermal energy as heat can take place via convection.

Convection via is the transfer of thermal energy due to the motion of the substance that contains the thermal energy.

In the following reaction, which substance is the precipitate? (NH4)2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq) BaSO4(s) + 2NH4NO3(aq
mariarad [96]
Assuming that the reactants are:

(NH4)2SO4 (aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq)

and the products are:

BaSO4 (s) + 2NH4NO3 (aq),

then you will have to determine which product is insoluble. You should have access to solubility rules to help you determine this.

According to the solubility rules, the following elements are considered insoluble when paired with SO4:

Sr^2+, Ba^2+, Pb^2+, Ag^2+, and Ca^2+

Therefore, the precipitate will be BaSO4 (s).
