The answer is lithium.

This is because it has an electron configuration of 1s2, 2s1 (also written as [He]2s1)

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

A chemist can determine the mass of K in a sample of known mass that consists of either pure K2O or pure K2O2. From this informa
Arte-miy333 [17]

Yes , the chemist can answer if the compound in K2O or K2O2

The chemical formula and composition of both the compounds is entirely different. The compound K2O2 has an additional molecule of oxygen than K2O and hence will have have higher molecular mass.

In the compound K2O

molecular mass= 2x 39+16 =94

mass ratio of K in compound= 78/94 = 0.830

In the compound K2O2

molecular mass= 2x 39+16X2 =110

mass ratio of K in compound= 78/110 = 0.710

and hence by the required ratio while extracting K , the chemist may know if the compound is K20 or K2O2

If the ratio is anything different from 0.830 and 0.710 then the compund will be something different

Which statement is false?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

  • <u><em>The first statement is false:  a.At equilibrium, equal amounts of products and reactants are present. ΔG° is a function of Keq.</em></u>

Explanation:

When one part of a statement is false, the whole statement is false.

At <em>equilibrium,</em> the amounts of products and reactants does not have to be equal.

At equlibrium the rates of the forward reaction and the reverse reaction must be equal.

An equilibrium reaction may be represented by:

  • A + B ⇄ C + D

That represents two reactions:

  • Direct reaction: A + B → C + D (A and B yield C and D)

  • Reverse reaction: A + B ← C + D (C and D yield A and B: note that the arrow goes from right to left)

So, it is when the direct and the forward rates are equal that there is not net change in the amounts of all the species and so the reaction is is equilibrium).

As per the other statement, both parts are true:

  • When reactants become products, they do so through an intermediate transitrion state: when the reactants approach each other and collide with enough energy and appropiate position, the bonds start to break and the bonds of the products start to form. This is the transition state.

  • Most biocatalysts are proteins: enzymes are simply proteins, with specific structures, that may accelerate or even deceralate biochemical reactions.

<h2>Plasma is most likely inflence by - Option C</h2>

This plasma is most likely influenced by magnetic and electric fields. The massive positively charged ions which are influenced the lighter electrons than replace the ions to keep charge impartiality.

Therefore electric field influence the plasma. The movement of charged particles identical to a magnetic field line is not influenced. Plasma contains charged particles which are positive nuclei and negative electrons which can be molded and restricted by magnetic forces.

Alike iron filings in the closeness of a magnet, bits in the plasma will ensue magnetic field lines.
