This is key: remember it's only an ion when it transfers electrons! If it isn't going through the process of the transfer of electrons it's a neutral atom.

Two electrons are found in the same atom. One has the quantum number set (3, 2, 0, +?), and the other has the quantum number set
Vilka [71]

D. Same energy level but different sublevel.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

There are four quantum numbers [1]:

  • <em>n</em><em>, </em>the principal quantum number,
  • <em>l</em>, the orbital angular momentum quantum number,
  • <em>m_l</em>, the magnetic quantum number, and
  • <em>m_s</em>, the electron spin quantum number.

As their names might suggest:

  • <em>n </em>determines the main energy level of an electron.
  • <em>l</em> determines the type of sublevel of an electron.
  • Each sublevel might contain more than one orbital. <em>m_l</em> gives the orbital of an electron.
  • Each orbital contains up to two electrons. <em>m_s</em> tells two electrons in the same orbital apart.<em> </em>

The two electrons in question come from the same atom. The question suggests that they have the same <em>n</em>, <em>m_l</em>, and <em>m_s</em>. As a result, both electrons are in main energy level <em>n</em> = 3. They share the same spin.

However, the two electrons differ in their value of <em>l</em>.

  • <em>l </em>= 2 for the first electron. It belongs to a <em>d</em> sublevel.
  • <em>l </em>= 1 for the second electron. It belongs to a <em>p</em> sublevel.

If an object has two forces acting on it how can the next force equal 0
Flura [38]

If the forces are equal and in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero.

Consider a tug-of-war team. If they are pulling with equal forces against each other, the red cloth on the rope will not move.

<em>F = ma </em>

The cloth is not moving, so <em>a = </em>0 and the net force <em>F = </em>0.

Which of the following contains an atom that does not obey the octet rule? BrF3 SiO2 NaCl BrF
mrs_skeptik [129]

The octet rule signifies towards the capability of the atoms to prefer to exhibit eight electrons in the valence shell. In case, when the atoms possess lesser than eight electrons, they seem to react and produce more stable components. While discussing octet rule, one does not consider d or f electrons.  

According to the octet rule, the atoms of the prime-group elements seem to bind in such a manner that each atom exhibit eight electrons in its valence shell, providing it the similar electronic configuration as a noble gas.  

In the given question, in BrF3, fluorine follows octet rule, while bromine does not follow the octet rule.
