The noble gas notation of an element includes a noble gas as a condensed way to describe the electronic configuration of an element. IN this case, the nearest noble gas is xenon with an atomic number of 54. Hg's atomic number is 80 so we need 26 more. In this case, after [Xe], the configuration starts with 6s². Hence to complete the configuration the answer is [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10
The
correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and
the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.
<span>P1V1/
T1 = P2V2 / T2</span>
<span>Assume
the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2</span>
<span>P1V1/
T1 = P2V1 /2 T2</span>
<span>Cancelling
terms,</span>
<span>1/T1
= 1/2 T2</span>
T2
= T1/2
<span>Thus,
the temperature decreased.</span>
That should be a synthesis reaction
