It would be d.

Reason being said...

the electron configuration normally goes like this...

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2....

until you hit the transition metals..remember those have a special rule..

even though you are in the 4 sublevels for the orbitals ... it goes down 1

Making it 3d..(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

Going on...

at 5s2 then, 4d1, 4d2, 4d3, 4d4, etc..

at 6s2 then, 5d1, 6d2, 6d3, 6d4, etc..

Thus, D orbital is your answer.

Write the balanced standard combustion reaction for the c5h7on3s2
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Explanation:

When C5H7ON3S2 under go Combustion, the following are obtained as illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

Now, let us balance the equation. This is illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

There are 3 atoms of N on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of C5H7ON3S2 and 6 in front of N2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 20 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 20 in front of CO2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 28 atoms on H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 14 in front of H2O as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 8 atoms of S on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of S2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, there are a total of 54 atoms of O on the right side and 6 atoms on the left side

It can be balance by putting 25 in front of O2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced.

Explain how acids and bases directly or indirectly affect the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution.
ehidna [41]

By taking hydrogen ions, certain bases directly lower the H+ than OH- concentration. Other bases break down to create hydroxide ions, which indirectly lowers the H+ concentration.

<h3>What is the difference between acid and base?</h3>

H+ ion concentration is raised by an acid. A base is a chemical that, in an aqueous solution, produces hydroxide (OH-) ions, gives electrons, and receives protons. A donor of protons is an acid. A proton can enter a base. When dissolved in water, an acidic chemical compound produces a solution that has more H+ ion activity than clean water. A base is an aqueous material that releases hydroxide (OH-) ions, receives protons, or contributes electrons. A donor of protons is an acid. A base is a proton acceptor.

Based on the results of this lab, write a short paragraph that summarizes how to distinguish physical changes from chemical chan
Kaylis [27]

Physical changes occur when the properties of a substance are retained and/or the materials can be recovered after the change. Chemical changes involve the formation of a new substance. Formation of a gas, solid, light, or heat are possible evidence of chemical change.
