<u>Answer 2 :</u> The given electronic configuration for a neutral atom of phosphorous in its ground state is incorrect.
Explanation :
A neutral atom of phosphorous has 15 electrons.
The given electronic configuration is incorrect.
The reason is, According to Aufbau principle, the electrons will be first filled in the sub-shell having lower orbital energy. As from the given configuration, 3p sub-shell has lower orbital energy than 4s sub-shell. So, the electrons will be filled in 3p sub-shell first. Hence, the ground state electronic configuration of neutral atom of phosphorous is,

<u>Answer 3 :</u>
Element Rubidium Magnesium Aluminium
Symbol Rb Mg Al
Group number 1 2 13
Number of valence 1 2 3
electrons
The order of general reactivity on the basis of number of valence electrons.
Rb > Mg > Al
Reason : The reactivity is determined by the number of electrons present in the outermost shell that means the element which have 1 valence electron will be more reactive because they can easily lose electrons.
If a material mixes readily with water it is describe as HYDROPHILIC. Hydrophilic substances are water loving molecules, there reaction with water is favorable in term of thermodynamics. This type of substance are usually charged and often have ability to get involve in hydrogen bonding.
Answer: Chemical and Potential Energy
Explanation: Im pretty sure that is it i know it is Chemical and Potential Good Luck Hope I helped. =)
The best describes on why and how Maggie should change her question to make it a better scientific question is that t<span>he question involves giving an opinion about recycling, so it should be changed to rely only on facts. Hope it helps! </span>
