Explanation :

The study of light and electrons are important for chemistry & universe.

As we know, everything is made up of particles even light & universe also. The particles are made of atoms and that atoms are made up of electrons, protons & neutrons.

An electron is one of the most important type of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with the proton to form atom. These electrons, protons & neutrons play a vital role in chemistry and universe.

The importance of an electron is that when two atoms react with each other or approach each other, their outermost shells come into contact first and these outermost shells electrons are involved in the chemical reaction.

Also important for chemical reactions, creating bonds, for electricity and the understanding of electrons has allowed for the better understanding of some forces which are in our universe such as electromagnetic force.

We know that the light is act as particle nature and it is a part of universe. As we know that chemists are only responsible for the chemical's study. Chemists cannot study the whole universe that is why they study light and the light is important because nothing would be able to survive.

The studying of light is important for the photoelectric effect, absorption, bio-molecules synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, vision, colors, drying & evaporation, sterilization, solar energy, spectroscopy, signal system and also for electron excitation.

Organisms, or living things are made of tiny particles that can join together and make larger structures.

zzz [600]

Living things are highly organized and structured, following a hierarchy of scale from small to large. The atom is the smallest and most fundamental unit of matter. It consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. Atoms combine to form molecules, which are chemical structures consisting of at least two atoms held together by a chemical bond. In plants, animals, and many other types of organisms, molecules come together in specific ways to create structures called organelles. Organelles are small structures that exist within cells and perform specialized functions. As discussed in more detail below, all living things are made of one or more cells.

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;

marishachu [46]

Answer: Pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Explanation:

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

For a:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For b:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

For c:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For d:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For e:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For f:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)
