Answer:

The answer to your question is: Oxygen (O) and Selenium (Se)

Explanation:

Elements located in group VIA needs to gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas electron configuration.

Oxygen (O) is located in group VIA so it needs to gain two electrons to become stable.

Strontium (Sr) is located in group IIA so it needs to lose 2 electrons to become stable.

Sodium (Na) is located in group IA so it needs to lose one electron to become stable.

Selenium (Se) is located in group VIA so it needs to gain 2 electrons to become stable.

Bromine (Br) is located in group VIIA so it needs to gain one electron to become stable.

Charles’ Law can be expressed mathematically as V=kT. If the constant k for 6.0 L of gas is 0.020 L/K (liters per kelvin), what

kozerog [31]

Answer: 300 K

Explanation:

Charles' Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

$V\propto T$ (At constant pressure and number of moles)

$V=kT$

Given : V= 6.0 L

k= 0.020 L/K

T=?

$6.0=0.020LK^{-1}\times T$

$T=300 K$

Thus temperature of the gas is 300 K.

According to Hund's rule of maximum spin multiplicity, how many singly-occupied orbitals are there in the valence shells of the

leva [86]

Answer:

A) carbon - 2

B) cobalt - 3

C) sulfur - 2

D) fluorine - 1

E) titanium - 2

F) germanium - 2

Explanation:

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-

Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.

(A) Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^2$

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

(B) Cobalt.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{7}4s^2$

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 3 orbitals will be singly filled in cobalt.

(C) Sulfur.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4$

Thus, 3s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 2 electrons will be paired in 1 orbital and 2 orbitals will be singly filled in sulfur.

D) fluorine

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^5$

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 1 orbital will be singly filled in fluorine.

E) Titanium

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{2}4s^2$

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 2 orbitals will be singly filled in titanium.

F) Germanium

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^2$

Thus, 4s, 3d orbitals are fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Germanium has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

discuss how variations in electronegativity result in the unequal sharing of electrons in polar molecules.

konstantin123 [22]

Variations in electronegativity prompt in the unequal halves of electrons in polar molecules because when one atom is more electronegative than the other, it becomes more polar than the other.

It results in the more electronegative atom to have a slightly negative (-ve) charges, and the other atom to have partial or slightly positive(+ve) charges.

Polar molecules have unequal sharing of electrons because the atoms have unequal attraction for electrons so the sharing is unequal.

The larger the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms, the more the polar the bond.

Hydrogen bonds are involved in unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms.

Cobalt (Co) has an atomic mass of 59 and an atomic number of 27. Which statement correctly describes an atom of cobalt?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

27 us the number of protons when we subtract 27 from 59 it will be 32 because a mass number is the sum of proton and neutron but tell u more on the comment
