Answer:
only chlorine can expand its octet.
Explanation:
An atom can expand its octet is it has empty d orbital
the electronic configuration of given elements will be:
B : 1s2 2s2 2p1 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
O :1s2 2s2 2p4 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
F : 1s2 2s2 2p5 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
Cl :1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 3d0 [Valence shell n =2 no d orbital]
Out of given elements only chlorine has empty d orbitals in its valence shell
Thus only chlorine can expand its octet.
Answer:
<h3>The answer is option D</h3>
Explanation:
To find the speed given the kinetic energy and mass we use the formula

where
m is the mass
v is the speed
From the question
KE = 15 J
m = 2.3 kg
We have

We have the final answer as
<h3>3.6 m/s</h3>
