Answer:
5. Selenium, because it does not have a stable, half-filled p subshell and adding an electron does not decrease its stability.
Explanation:
Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.
Selenium:-
The electronic configuration of the element is:-
![[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAr%5D3d%5E%7B10%7D4s%5E24p%5E4)
Arsenic:-
The electronic configuration of the element is:-
![[Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAr%5D3d%5E%7B10%7D4s%5E24p%5E3)
The 4p orbital in case of arsenic is half filled which makes the element having more stability as compared to selenium.
Thus, selenium has higher electron affinity because adding electron does not decrease the stability as in case of arsenic.
The word elliptical refers to regular ovals.
The term Big Bang defines that the Universe has expanded from the ancient hot and thick primary situation at some fixed time in the past.
Big Bang theory refers to the origin of the Universe. In the beginning, universe is very heavy and small hot ball of matter. It was a point no bigger than the head of a pin when all the things squished with each other and universe is expanded with huge explosion of energy. Due to expansion, it is cooled and results in the formation of Stars and galaxies. After sometime, atoms formed like helium and hydrogen.
Thus, statement (1), (3) and (4) is correct whereas statement (2) and (5) is incorrect.
given days = 42 days
So, number of half life, n = 42/14.3 = 2.93
So, after 42 days, the mass of sodium phosphate sample left = original mass
x (1/2)^n,
= 157 mg x (1/2)^2.93 = 20.60 g of Na3PO4 after 42 days
Formula mass of Sodium phosphate = 3(23) + 32 + 4(16) amu = 165 amu
165 g of sodium phosphate contains 32 g of Phosphorus
20.60 g ------------------------------? = 20.60 x 32/ 165 =3.99g of P32
