Explanation:

The highest occupied energy sub-level is defined as number of electrons present in the outermost energy level of an atom.

For example, for alkali metals general electronic configuration is $ns^{1}$ .

This means that in the highest occupied energy sub-level of an alkali metal there will be only one electron.

Whereas for alkaline earth metals general electronic configuration is $ns^{2}$ . This means there are 2 electrons present in the highest occupied energy sub-level of an alkaline earth metal.

Thus, we can conclude that atom that contains only one electron in the highest occupied energy sublevel are alkali metals.

All atoms that are considered as alkali metals have one valence electron on the outermost shell.

A molecule has sp2 hybridization with 1 lone pair.... The electron pair geometry of this molecule is: ... The geometry of this m

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The electron pair geometry is Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - Bent

Approximate bond angle - <120°

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory enables us to predict the shapes of molecules based on the number of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom and based on the hybridization state of the central atom.

sp2 hybridization corresponds to trigonal planar geometry. Let us recall that the presence of lone pairs causes a deviation of the molecular geometry from the expected geometry based on the number of electron pairs.

Hence, owing to one lone pair present, the observed molecular geometry is bent.

A chemistry student needs 10.00 g of isopropenylbenzene for an experiment. He has available 120. g of a 42.7% w/w solution of is

Vanyuwa [196]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of solution that the chemistry student should use is 23.4 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Available mass of isopropenylbenzene = 120. g

Amount of isopropenylbenzene needed by chemistry student = 10.00 g

42.7 % (w/w) solution of isopropenylbenzene.

This means that 42.7 grams of isopropenylbenzene is present in 100 grams of solution.

To calculate the mass of solution for given needed of isopropenylbenzene, we apply unitary method:

For 42.7 grams of isopropenylbenzene, the amount of solution needed is 100 grams

So, for 10.00 grams of isopropenylbenzene, the amount of solution needed will be = $\frac{100}{42.7}\times 10=23.4g$

Hence, the mass of solution that the chemistry student should use is 23.4 grams

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

You will change which food dye is used. You will measure how quickly the dyes diffuse. You could use a timer to see how long the dye takes to completely diffuse.
