Given following electron configurations, 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d9 and 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s14d10.

1 answer:

8 0

Explanations:- Part 1: We could count the total number of electrons by looking at the electron configurations. Both of these electrons configurations have 47 electrons. If we look at the periodic table then 47 is the atomic number of silver. So, the name of the element is silver and its represented as Ag.

Part 2: As per the rule, Completely filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. First electron configuration has 9 electrons in 4d and we know that d is more stable if it has 5 electrons(half filled) or it has 10 electrons(full filled).

For stability reasons, one of the electron from 5s goes to 4d and for this reason the second electron configuration is found most often in nature for silver.

Few other examples are Cr and Cu.

One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Silicon has 14 electrons

Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.

It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon

A. four atoms of calcium.

Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium cannot bind on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.

B. one atom of chlorine.

1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will not bind.

Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.

Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it can bind with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).

D. three atoms of hydrogen.

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.

Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.

Silicon will not bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)

On the electromagnetic spectrum what two types of waves are microwaves between?

boyakko [2]

Microwaves are defined as electromagnetic radiations with a frequency ranging between 300 MHz to 300 GHz while the wavelength ranges from 1 mm to around 30 cm. The microwave radiation is commonly referred to as microwaves. They fall between the infrared radiation and radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

15.0 g of cream at 10.0 ℃ are added to an insulated cup containing 150.0 g of coffee at 78.6 °C. Calculate the equilibrium tempe

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of the coffee is 72.4 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of cream = 15.0 grams

Temperature of the cream = 10.0°C

Mass of the coffee = 150.0 grams

Temperature of the coffee = 78.6 °C

C = respective specific heat of the substances( same as water) = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the equilibrium temperature

m(cream)*C*(T2-T1) = -m(coffee)*c*(T2-T1)

15.0 g* 4.184 J/g°C *(T2 - 10.0°C) = -150.0g *4.184 J/g°C*(T2-78.6°C)

62.76T2 - 627.6 = -627.6T2 + 49329.36

690.36T2 = 49956.96

T2 = 72.4 °C

The equilibrium temperature of the coffee is 72.4 °C
