Energy transfer during water cycle occurs as follows:\boxed{{\text{d}}{\text{. Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation}}} 

Further Explanation:

Water cycle:

It is the method by which water is being transferred from its gaseous phase to liquid phase and is again converted back to its vapor stats. In order words, water cycle involves movement of water from water vapors to liquid water and then back to water vapors once again.

Steps involved in water cycle:

Step 1: Evaporation

When water is heated, it converts into vapors or evaporation is said to take place. Water from earth’s surface, oceans, rivers and seas is evaporated and form water vapors.

Step 2: Condensation

It is just the opposite of what is observed in evaporation or vaporization. It is procedure that results in conversion of water vapors to liquid water. This process helps in the formation of clouds in the atmosphere.

Step 3: Sublimation

It is direct conversion of solid into gas or vapors. When ice and snow get converted into water vapors without getting converted into liquid water, sublimation is said to take place.

Step 4: Precipitation

It is the process by which water released from cloudsin form of rain, hail, or snow. This process acts as mediator for water delivery from atmosphere to the surface of earth.

Step 5: Transpiration

The process by which water is absorbed by plants and is released in form of water vapors via leaves. It acts as one major source of water in the atmosphere.

Step 6: Runoff

It is the type of precipitation that can neither be evaporated nor be absorbed in the soil. It is important step of water cycle as it is responsible for supply of water to rivers, lakes and seas.

Step 7: Infiltration

This is the process in which infusion of water occurs into the surface of soil and travels deep inside rocks and crevices. Water that is collected from melting ice results in being infiltrated.

Evaporation of water results in conversion of liquid to gas water. Such a conversion requires supply of energy. This energy is released when water vapors get converted into liquid water again. Therefore water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation. Hence option d is correct.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In water cycle, water from clouds fall in the form of rain, snow etc. This water travels through the surface of mountains and passes through rivers, oceans etc and gets evaporated due to heat from Sun.

When water evaporates then it absorbs energy in the form of heat from Sun and when water condenses then heat is released.

Therefore, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation.

What is the noble-gas configuration for As​
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Noble gas Electronic configuration of arsenic:

As₃₃ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³

Explanation:

Arsenic is metalloid.

Its atomic number is 33.

Its atomic mass is 75 amu.

Its symbol is As.

It is usually present in combine with sulfur and metals.

it is used in bronzing.

It is also used for hardening.

Electronic configuration:

As₃₃ = Is² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³

Noble gas Electronic configuration:

As₃₃ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³

Noble gas electronic configuration is shortest electronic configuration by using the noble gas elements full octet electronic configuration.
