How do the energy and the most probable location of an electron in the third shell of an atom compare to the energy and the most

probable location of an electron in the first shell of the same atom?
(1) In the third shell, an electron has more energy and is closer to the nucleus.
(2) In the third shell, an electron has more energy and is farther from the nucleus.
(3) In the third shell, an electron has less energy and is closer to the nucleus.
(4) In the third shell, an electron has less energy and is farther from the nucleus.

The answer is (2). You can think about this question in terms of the Bohr's model of the atom or in terms of quantum chemistry. In the Bohr model, electrons exist in discrete "shells," each respresenting a fixed spherical distance from the nucleus in which electrons of certain energy levels orbit the nucleus. The larger the shell (the greater the "orbit" radius), the greater the energy of the "orbiting" electron (I use quotations because electrons don't actually orbit the nucleus in the traditional sense, as you may know). Thus, according to the Bohr model, a third shell electron should be farther from the nucleus and have greater energy than an electron in the first shell. The quantum model is differs drastically from the Bohr model in many ways, but the essence is the same. A larger principal quantum number indicates 1) greater overall energy and 2) a probability distribution spread a bit more outward.

Alexxandr [17]
This is a decomposition reaction, where ammonium nitrate is heated and decomposed to gaseous water and dinitrogen oxide.
Formulas for reactants and products with states are as follows;
ammonium nitrate - NH₄NO₃ (s)
water - H₂O (g)
dinitrogen oxide - N₂O (g)
balanced reactions when the masses of both sides of the equation must be balanced 

Balanced chemical equation 
NH₄NO₃(s) ---> 2H₂O(g) + N₂O(g)

Which of these pairs of elements have the same number of valence electrons?
Taya2010 [7]
The same number of valence electrons exists in the same family of elements in the periodic table. In finding the answer to this problem, we just have to find the pair that belongs to the same family in the periodic table. The same family means same column. Among these, Oxygen and lead (Pb) are in the same family. This pair is the answer.

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is _____.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Uracil

Explanation:

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is Uracil.

2-deoxyribose is a pentose sugar found in the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It is devoid of oxygen in its 2' position. The bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine are also found in RNA (Ribonucleic acid). Thymine is not present in RNA, it is only found in DNA. The base found in RNA is Uracil which in turn is not present in DNA. The five carbon sugar present in RNA is ribose which combines with Uracil.
