Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, however, the element that has 52 electrons only is Tellurium (Te) and when the electronic configuration of elements with more than 52 electrons are written, the 52nd electron is indicated/paired the same way the 52nd electron of Te is indicated/paired. Hence, while writing the electronic configuration of Te, it is written as

[Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁴ where [Kr] is the electronic configuration of krypton. Based on this, we can deduce that the 52nd electron will be in the first orbital of the P subshell (as attached in the picture). This is because when indicating the electrons in the subshell, one electron will be spread across each orbital and if any electron is still remaining, it will be added starting from to the first orbital of the subshell, however no two electrons in an orbital in a subshell can have the same spin and hence must face opposite direction based on pauli's exclusion principle (as seen in attached); thus for the 5p-orbital of elements with 52 or more electrons, when one electron each is represented in each box (3 boxes in total) in the 5p-orbital, the remaining electron is paired with the the first electron in the first box of the 5p-orbital

Which three groups of the periodic table contain the most elements classified as metalloids (semimetals)?

attashe74 [19]

The metalloids are mostly concentrated in groups 14, 15, and 16. (Some simpler charts will show them as 4A, 5A, and 6A - take a look at the top of the periodic table your class uses to double-check).

The first-order decomposition of cyclopropane has a rate constant of 6.7 x 10-4 s-1. if the initial concentration of cyclopropan

vaieri [72.5K]

The first order rate law has the form: -d[A]/dt = k[A] where, A refers to cyclopropane. We integrate this expression in order to arrive at an equation that expresses concentration as a function of time. After integration, the first order rate equation becomes:

ln [A] = -kt + ln [A]_o, where,

k is the rate constant
t is the time of the reaction
[A] is the concentration of the species at the given time
[A]_o is the initial concentration of the species

For this problem, we simply substitute the known values to the equation as in:

ln[A] = -(6.7 x 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹)(644 s) + ln (1.33 M)

We then determine that the final concentration of cyclopropane after 644 s is 0.86 M.

All elements in the same group A) have similar chemical properties. B) are not similar in any way. C) are in the same state at r

leva [86]

Answer:

Have similar chemical properties

Explanation:

The periodic table of elements is made up of groups or families and periods.
Elements in the same group or chemical family share similar chemical properties.
For example, elements in group II have similar chemical properties. They include Calcium and magnesium.
A similar chemical property of group II elements is that they react with water to form metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
