If there were only three electron groups around an atom, how would they be arranged?

1 answer:

8 0

There would be two electrons in the 1s orbital one oriented up and one oriented down. The other electron would be in the 1p orbital up or down. Remember that 1s can only hold 2 electrons at a time, and when it is filled there one electron is spinning up and the other is spinning down. After 1s, comes the 1p orbital which can hold 6 electrons. Until 3 electrons are spinning either up or down, the next one will have the next orientation.

Elements riddle: Without my next door neighbor, I wouldn’t be worth 6 cents. Who am I?

zalisa [80]

If I understand this right, the two elements are Nickel and Copper, elements 28 and 28, respectively. A nickel is worth 5 cents, and a penny, originally comprised of copper, is worth one - the total being six cents.

Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of aqueous vanadium(V) cations to aqueous vanadium(I) cations.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

Reduction is a chemical reaction in which electrons are gained by one of the atoms taking part in the reaction and lowering of an oxidation state of that atom.

Reduction takes place at the cathode.

In aqueous, vanadium(V) is present in +5 oxidation state which on reduction changes to vanadium(I) with +1 oxidation state.

The half reaction is :

$V^{5+}(aq)+4e^- \rightarrow V^{1+}(aq)$

C2H4(g) + H2(g) mc030-1.jpg C2H6(g) Which change would likely cause the greatest increase in the rate of the reaction?

Vinil7 [7]

The reaction is a hydrogenation reaction of an alkene, and its equation is:
C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) → C₂H₆(g)
Therefore, this reaction can be sped up just as any other irreversible reaction may have its rate increased, by increasing temperature and pressure to increase the effective collisions of molecules.

Suppose a helium-3 nuclide transforms into a helium-4 nuclide by absorbing a proton and emitting a positron. Complete the nuclea

saw5 [17]

Answer: The nuclear equation for the conversion of He-3 nuclide to He-4 nuclide is given above.

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction are defined as the reactions in which nucleus of an atom is involved.

Positron emission is defined as the emission process in which positron particle is emitted. In this process, a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino particle.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0e$

The chemical equation for the reaction of He-3 with a proton follows:

$_2^3\textrm{He}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_{+1}^0e$

Hence, the nuclear equation for the conversion of He-3 nuclide to He-4 nuclide is given above.
