<span>The Affordable Care Act which was instated during Barack Obama´s presidency and is sometimes known as Obamacare is justified by the phrase ¨for the general welfare¨ in the Preamble. This concept can be defined as holding the US government responsable for providing care for all people, not just a few elites. Therefore the Affordable Care Act, which aims to increase access to healthcare to all Americans is adhering to this phrase.</span>
The options
Select one:
a. a 3- ion forms.
b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
d. the atom gains five electrons.
Answer:
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
Explanation:
Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.
The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;
1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .
At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as
2 8. The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.
The configuration of Neon has been formed in the process.
Reaction: 2K₍s₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎ → 2KOH₍aq₎ + H₂₍g₎.
K - potassium.
H₂O - water.
KOH - potassium-hydroxide.
H₂ - hydrogen.
s - solid phase.
l - liquid.
aq - disolves in water.
g - gas.
Reaction is exothermal (release of energy) and potassium burns a purple flame. H<span>ydrogen released during the reaction reacts with </span>oxygen<span> and ignites.</span><span>
