Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell

2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer

3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled

4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled

From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li

These little bunnies (A, B, and C) were born in the same litter to the same parents, but they have different traits for the feat
marta [7]

Answer:

Due to random assortment and incomplete dominance of alleles.

Explanation:

The bunnies end up with ear thicknesses that are different from one another due to random assortment of alleles during gamete formation according to Mendel.

In addition to random assortment, the allele for thick ear also displayed what is known as incomplete dominance over the allele for thin ear to arrive at an average ear thickness.

What happens when The vapour obtained by dropping conc. H2SO4 in a mixture of KI and MnO2 is treated with hypo solution​
Shalnov [3]

Iodine is decolorized.

The first reaction stated in the question occurs as follows;

2 KI (aq) + 2 H2SO4 (aq) + MnO2 (s) → MnSO4 (aq) + K2SO4 (aq) + I2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)

The reaction here is the formation of iodine from MnO2 and KI in the presence of dropwise H2SO4.

Hypo is the common name of sodium thio-sulphate or sodium hypo-sulfite.

The equation of the titration reaction is;

2Na2S2O3 + I2→ Na2S4O6 + 2NaI

When this reaction takes place, iodine is decolorized due to its reduction to I^-.

IRINA_888 [86]
A) Magnesium + Chlorine -> Magnesium chloride ( Mg + Cl2 -> MgCl2)

b) Potassium + Oxygen -> Potassium oxide
( 2K + O2 -> K2O )

c) Sodium + Bromine -> Sodium bromide
( 2Na + Br2 -> 2NaBr)

d) Carbon + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide
( C + O2 -> CO2 ) This reaction occurs when heated.
