"The transition metals are called such because an English chemist , Charles Bury described them as the bunch of elements that fill inner shells and bridge the transition between stable states".

<span> They are called that because while the outermost level contains at most two electrons, they are next to outermost main levels have incompletely filled d sub-orbitals, which are filled-up progressively on going across the periodic table from 8 to 18 electrons. The filling of the d sub-orbitals of the transition elements across a row of the periodic table is not always regular.</span>

Answer:

C 1:1

Explanation:

Hydrogen loses an electron to becone +1 which is a cation and flourine gains that electron to have a full outer shell on the 2p subshell to become -1 and is an anion so the ratio is 1:1.

How many individual orbitals does carbon use for all of its electrons? Remember, there are two electrons in each filled orbital
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Three orbitals

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of carbon is given as follows;

1s²2s²2p²

Therefore, out of the six electrons of the carbon atoms, 4 fill the 1s and 2s orbitals with 2 electrons each, while the two remaining electrons are situated in the 2p orbital, with the electrons in the 2p orbital will remain unpaired such that they will have similar quantum numbers in accordance with Pauli exclusion principle.

What fuel source is Jan using if she exercises at 85% of her maximum aerobic capacity?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Carbohydrates

Explanation:

Increased exercise intensity means the overall need for energy increases. As we increase exercise intensity we increase our glucose uptake and oxidation which far exceeds uptake, indicating that muscle stores of glycogen are being used. At moderate intensities (65%) there is an increased need for muscle glycogen and muscle triglycerides which is fat. At higher levels of intensities (85%) there is an even greater need for energy, and this is met almost solely by an increased uptake of glucose from the blood and from muscle glycogen.

In the case of fats as an energy fuel source at high intensities, increasing levels of intensity increases fat oxidation but once we get into higher levels of intensity, we return to levels of fat oxidation similar to very low intensities.
