This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Determine whether each of the following electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a transition metal. Justify your choices.

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1

Answer :

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5   → Halogen

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2    → Transition metal

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6   → Transition metal

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1   → Transition metal

Explanation :

Inert gas : These are the gases which lie in group 18.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2np^6 where n is the outermost shell.

Halogen : These are the elements which lie in group 17.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2np^5 where n is the outermost shell.

An alkali metal : These are the elements which lie in group 1.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^1 where n is the outermost shell.

An alkaline earth metal : These are the elements which lie in group 2.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2 where n is the outermost shell.

Transition elements : They are the elements which lie between 's' and 'p' block elements. These are the elements which lie in group 3 to 12. The valence electrons of these elements enter d-orbital.

Their general electronic configuration is: (n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2} where n is the outermost shell.

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the halogen family.

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

A truck traveled at a constant speed for 6 hours. Then, it
gavmur [86]

Answer:

2.4 hrs

Explanation:

The constant speed of the truck for 6 hrs can be calculated by: speed=distance/time. Speed =(876-228)/6=648/6=108m/s. So the decreased speed = (108-13)=95m/h. Now, speed =distance /time We get 95m/h = 228/t. t=228/95 hrs = 2.4 hrs PLEASE MARK ME THE BRAINLIEST!!

Look at the following enthalpy diagram. Select all that apply.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Option 2 and 4 are correct

Explanation:

The reactants in the attached image have more enthalpy and hence less stability as they are more reactive. Thus, Product is more stable than the reactants.

This is an addition reaction in which two reactants add up to form the product.

Very less activation energy is required as the reactants themselves are unstable, possess high energy and hence are very reactive.

Reactants have more energy than the products.
