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 sample of magnesium is burned in oxygen to form magnesium oxide. What mass of oxygen is consumed if 74.62 g magnesium oxide is
lana [24]
74.62 g of magnesium oxide is formed from 45.00 g magnesium so 74.62-45.00= 29.62 g of oxygen is consumed or in other words a new compound is formed in the burning of magnesium in oxygen with a heavier mass than the pure magnesium.

Give all possible, accurate, correct IUPAC names for the following compounds:
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. 4-ethyl-hex-3,5-dien-2-ol.

B. 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-<em>tert</em>-butylphenol.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given problems, it is possible to apply the IUPAC rules to obtain the following names:

A. 4-ethyl-hex-3,5-dien-2-ol because we have an ethyl radical at the fourth carbon and the beginning of the parent chain is on the Me (CH3) because it is closest to first OH.

B. 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-<em>tert</em>-butylphenol: because we start at the alcohol and have a chlorine atom on the second carbon, a methyl radical on the third carbon, a <em>tert</em>-butyl on the fifth carbon and the parent chain is benzene which is phenol as an alcohol.

Regards!

How does the equilibrium change to counter the removal of A in this reaction? A + B ⇌ AB The equilibrium . Simultaneously, there
kykrilka [37]

Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if the equilibrium of a system is disturbed by changing the temperature, pressure or concentration, then it will shift in a direction to undo the effect of the induced change.

The given equilibrium is:

A + B ↔ AB

Removal of the reactant A implies that the concentration of A has decreased, therefore the equilibrium will shift in a direction to produce more of A. Thus, it will shift to the left and the rate of the reverse or backward reaction will increase.

What is being cycled??
swat32
Water is constantly being cycled between the atmosphere, the ocean and land. This cycling is a very important process that helps sustain life on Earth. As the water evaporates, vapors rise, and condense into clouds. The clouds move over land, and precipitation falls in the form of rain, ice, or snow.
