“The Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere”, the statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The outermost parts of the Earth composed of crust and a part of the upper mantle is termed as lithosphere. And asthenosphere is positioned below lithosphere. The bottom layer of lithosphere has the parts of the upper crust.

So the highly viscous and ductile region in the remaining part of the upper crust forms the asthenosphere below the lithosphere. The upper crust in the lithosphere region contain elastic properties while the upper crust in the asthenosphere is ductile in nature. Thus the statement that lithosphere is thinner than asthenosphere is true as it is located at the surface.

Extend the aufbau sequence through an element that has not yet been identified, but whose atoms would completely fill 7p orbital
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

<u>Number of electrons</u> = 118

<u>Electronic configuration</u>: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶

Explanation:

Given: A chemical element that has completely filled 7p orbital.

According to this, the principal occupied electron shell or the <u>valence shell of such an element is 7p.</u>

⇒ the principal quantum number <u>(n) for the valence shell is 7.</u>

∴ this element belongs to the period 7 of the periodic table.

Also, an element that has completely filled p-orbital belongs to the group 18 of the p-block.

Therefore, an element that belongs to the group 7 and period 18 of the periodic table, should have a <u>completely filled 5f, 6d, 7s and 7p orbitals</u>.

Therefore, the electronic configuration should be: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶

And, the <u>number of electrons</u> = atomic number of radon (Rn) + 14 + 10 + 2 + 6 = 86 + 32 = <u>118</u>.

<u>Therefore, the given element has atomic number 118 and has the electronic configuration: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶. Thus the given element can be Oganesson.</u>
