18 core electrons
and 1 valence electron

Masja [62]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> An atom of potassium contains 18 core electrons and 1 valence electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Core electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the inner shells of an atom.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of the atom.

For the given electronic configuration of potassium (K): 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1

The outermost shell of this configuration is '4s' and rest are considered as inner shells.

Thus, an atom of potassium contains 18 core electrons and 1 valence electrons.

The relationship between moles and volume, when pressure and temperature of a gas are held constant, is: V/n =
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

If the moles of gas are tripled, the volume must also triple.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

The number of moles and volume are directly related to each other. By increasing the number of moles volume also goes to increase with same ratio.

When number of moles decreases the volume also goes to decrease at constant temperature and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V ∝ n

V = Kn

V/n = k

When volume is changed from V₁ to V₂ by changing the number of moles from n₁ to n₂. Then expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Two compounds are standing at the same temperature. Compound "A" is evaporating more slowly than compound "B." According to the
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Option D) Compound B may have a lower molecular weight.

Explanation:

Compound A and B are standing at the same temperature yet compound A is evaporating more slowly than compound B.

This simply indicates that compound B have a lower molecular weight than compound A.

This can further be seen when gasoline and kerosene are placed under same temperature. The gasoline will evaporate faster than kerosene because the molecular weight of the gasoline is low when compared to that of the kerosene.
