I think the answer is 1s²2s²2p⁶.  Since neon has an atomic number of 10, we know that it needs to have 10 electrons and since it is in the second row it cannot have any d electrons which makes the first option incorrect.  The second option is incorrect because the 2s⁴ can't exist since s orbitals can only hold 2 electrons.  The fourth option cannot be right because it again neon cannot have d electrons due to it being in the second row.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Given a chemical equation, showing the dissociation of an acid in solution, be able to identify the "acid", the "base", the "con
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory:

  • An acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base
  • A base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

HA+H_2O\rightarrow A^-+H_3O^+

Suppose acid Ha is getting dissociated in its solution and after dissociation it donates its proton to water molecule and forms conjugate base. Where as water (acting as a base) accepts protons and forms conjugate acid.

HA = Acid

H_2O = Base

A^- = Conjugate base

H_3O^+ = Conjugate acid

For example:

H_2SO_4+2H_2O\rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+2H_3O^+

Sulfuric acid dissociating in its solution to form conjugate base and conjugate acid.

Sulfuric acid  = Acid

H_2O = Base

SO_^{2-} = Conjugate base

H_3O^+ = Conjugate acid

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 130. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, w
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

167 kJ

Explanation:

Given parameters

Change in enthalpy = 130 kJ (decrease)

Work done = -137 kJ

Change in energy, \delta = ?  

From the first law of thermodynamics:

ΔH = ΔE + PΔV,

Where, ΔH= change in enthalpy

ΔE = change in Internal energy  

Substituting values into the above formula —  

130 kJ = ΔE + -137  kJ

130 kJ = ΔE - 137 kJ

therefore,

ΔE = (130 + 137 ) kJ

ΔE = 167 kJ

Therefore, the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction is 167 kJ.  

Since the value of energy change Is positive, therefore this Is endothermic reaction
