Which type of orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the Si^4+ ground-state ion? 1. 2s 2. 3p 3. 4s 4. 4
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that the ground state electronic configuration of silicon is [Ne]3s^{2}3p^{2}.

And, we know that when an atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge.

As Si^{4+} has a +4 charge which means that it has lost 4 electrons. Hence, the electronic configuration of Si^{4+} is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}.

According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.

As 2p orbital is filled after the filling of 2s orbital.

Therefore, we can conclude that 2p orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the Si^{4+} ground-state ion.

Explain why lithium is a strong reducing agent, whereas fluorine is a strong oxidizing agent.
Tom [10]
Lithium is a good reducing agent because it is electropositive [it rapidly gains electrons]
fluorine is  good oxidizing agent electronegative [it loses electrons fastly]

What two gases have a profound effect on the type of organisms that can live in an area and influences the regions carrying capa
Over [174]

Answer:

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Oxygen is required for respiration whereby energy is released from natural occurring nutrients accompanied by the release of water and carbon dioxide. carbon dioxideis also required by plants to photosynthesise.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the troposphere supports life as by enabling respiration in organisms and photosynthesise in plants can. Without oxygen in an environment, only life forms that live by anaerobic respiration will thrive. This affects a regions carrying capacity
