Explanation:

The given configuration is $ns^{2}np^{5}$ and this shows that there are seven valence electrons present in the outermost shell. Therefore, it is a general configuration of group 17 which is also known as halogen group.

Elements of group 17 are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

For example, fluorine is a group 17 element that has electronic configuration $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{5}$ .

Value of n will start from 2 and increases on moving down the group.

Hence, we can conclude that halogens are the elements that have electron configurations that end in $ns^{2}np^{5}$ .

Last level of atoms of these elements has 2+5= 7 electrons. These elements are located in the 17th group of the Periodic Table, and they are called halogens.

Calculate the pH of the 4M NaOH

krek1111 [17]

$\text{NaOH}(aq) \longrightarrow \text{Na}^{+} (aq)+ \text{OH}^{-}(aq)\\\\k_w = [\text{H}_3 \text{O}^{+}][\text{OH}^{-}]\\\\\implies 10^{-14} = [\text{H}_3 \text{O}^{+}] \cdot 4\\\\\implies [\text{H}_3 \text{O}^{+}] = \dfrac{10^{-14}}4 = 2.5 \times 10^{-15}~ M\\\\\text{pH} = -\log[\text{H}_3 \text{O}^{+}] = -log(2.5 \times 10^{-15})=14.603$

The forensic technician at a crime scene has just prepared a luminol stock solution by adding 16.0 g of luminol to H2O creating

san4es73 [151]

Answer : The concentration of luminol in the solution is, 1.20 M.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of luminol = 16.0 g

Volume of solution = 75.0 mL

Molar mass of luminol = 177.16 g/mole

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of luminol}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of luminol}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{16.0g\times 1000}{177.16g/mole\times 75.0mL}=1.20mole/L=1.20M$

Therefore, the concentration of luminol in the solution is, 1.20 M.

Silicon is an element that is found directly underneath carbon in the periodic table and thus has similar properties to carbon,

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Four electrons are present in the valence shell of Silicon.

Explanation:

Valence shell electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. These valence shell electrons are responsible for in the formation of bonds with other atoms.

Silicon having atomic number 14 has fourteen electrons in its neutral state and has the electronic configuration as follow;

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p²

In given configuration the valence shell (outermost shell) is 3 and the number of electrons present in it are four i.e. 3s² and 3p² (2 + 2 = 4) respectively.
