Methane is not very reactive so it doesn't react with air when flame is not applied
The difference would be that Mercury has a denser, warmer atmosphere and Earth has a not that dense and gassy atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere also has a lot of layers while Mercury's doesn't. Those would be the reasons for them both being different. Hope this helped!
Answer:
Types of atomic orbitals present in the third principal energy are <u>s, p and d only .</u>
Explanation:
- <u>OPTION A-: s and p atomic orbitals -</u> these two orbitals are present in second principal energy level. Therefore , the option is incorrect.
- <u> OPTION B-: p and d only -</u> This option is wrong as there is no such principal level energy where , s atomic orbital is absent .
- <u>OPTION C-: s , p and d only -</u>these orbitals are present in<u> third principal energy level</u>. The third major level of energy has one orbital, three orbitals of p, and five orbitals of d, each of which can contain up to 10 electrons. The third stage thus holds a maximum of 18 electrons. This option is correct .
- <u>OPTION D-: s , p, d and f only -</u>There is also a f sublevel at the <u>fourth and higher stages,</u> containing seven f orbitals, which can accommodate up to 14 electrons at most. Therefore, up to 32 electrons will hold the fourth level: 2 in the s orbital, 6 in the three p orbitals, 10 in the five d orbitals, and 14 in the seven f orbitals. This option is incorrect .
<u>Thus , the correct option is C (s , p and d only .)</u>
