Is water going from liquid to solid a physical or chemical change and why
Kipish [7]
It would be a physical change. It’s still water just in a different physical form. If it was a chemical change, it would no longer be water. For example, when the ice melts back into water...it’s still water.

What is penetration? How is it related to shielding? Use the penetration effect to explain the difference in relative orbital en
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: penetration is the ability of an electron in a given orbital to approach the nucleus closely. Shielding refers to the fact that core electrons reduce the degree of nuclear attraction felt by the orbital electrons. Shielding is the opposite of penetration. The most penetrating orbital is the least screening orbital. The order of increasing shielding effect/decreasing penetration is s<p<d<f.

Explanation:

The order of penetrating power is 1s>2s>2p>3s>3p>4s>3d>4p>5s>4d>5p>6s>4f....

Since the 3p orbital is more penetrating than the 3d orbital, it will lie nearer to the nucleus and thus possess lower energy.
