Argon atom has the same electrons configuration as a potassium ion.

Answer is D - Argon atom


Potassium has atomic number as 19. Hence, number of protons = 19

If the atom is neutral,

number of protons = number of electrons = 19


Hence, the electron configuration of potassium (K) is

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹


Potassium ion is formed by losing an electron. Then the number of electrons = 19 - 1 = 18


Electron configuration of K⁺ is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶.


This is same as the electron configuration of Ar which has 18 electrons.

Explain the difference between wavelength and frequency
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Wavelength (typically measured in nanometers) is the distance between two points in a wave.Frequency (typically measured in Hertz) is the number of waves in a specific time . Frequency and wavelength have both direct and inverse relationships. The crucial difference between frequency and wavelength is that frequency shows the total number of wave oscillations in a given time. As against wavelength specifies the distance between two specific points of a wave.

Explanation:

Frequency is how often something changes per second be it amplitude of a voltage on a wire or be it the bobbing back and forth of a bobblehead. Frequency is how often something moves up and down in a second. If a bobble head moves forward and backward in one second then it has a bobbling frequency of 1 Hertz (Hz). The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz) or # of cycles or oscillations per second. A wavelength is measured in distance like meters (m). For photons or light or radiowaves the equation is wavelength=speed of light/frequency.

PH
Orlov [11]

Explanation:

A chemical property is defined as the property that brings changes in chemical composition of a substance.

For example, flammability, combustion, reactivity, electronegativity etc are allchemical properties.

On the other hand, a property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical property.

For example, shape, size, mass, density etc are all physical properties.

Thus, we can conclude that these may all be classified as chemical properties of a substance.
