<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.

This question is for science. which options describes the particles of water as liquid water actively boils to become steam?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. The particles will gain a large amount of kinetic energy

Explanation:

As the water temperature reaches 100°C, which is the boiling point for water at atmospheric pressure, the continued heating is then used to break up the strong inter molecular forces between molecules of the water  such that the individual molecules are free to move about and due to the high temperature, have gained considerable amount of kinetic energy for the to rise to appreciable height and to also spread.

The heat which converts water into steam is called latent heat as during the boiling phase, the temperature of the water remains constant.

The diagram shows light interacting with an object. Which object is the light most likely striking?
Tamiku [17]

a window

Explanation:

The diagram attached that shows light interacting with an object shows that the object is most definitely a window.

The window must have been made up of glass.

  • The wave path completely describes refraction of waves as they cross the boundary between two medium.
  • The light moves from a less dense to a denser medium and this causes the velocity to slow down.
  • On coming from the other side, the wave rays are attenuated.

A student weighs out 0. 0422 g of magnesium metal. The magnesium metal is reacted with excess hydrochloric acid to produce hydro
pav-90 [236]

The value of r is 0.0868 and the error percentage is 5.78%.

  • The student weights 0.0422 grams of magnesium; thus, we may deduce that the magnesium he used is the mass of the magnesium over the additional mass, which is 0.024422.
  • That is roughly equal to 0.001758.
  • It also asserts that too much hydrochloric acid can react with magnesium, releasing hydrogen gas as a result.
  • A sample of hydrogen gas is collected over water in a meter at a volume of 43.9 cc and a maximum pressure of 22 cc.
