The elements whose electron configurations end with f electrons are in the Lanthanide and Actinide series: those long series at the bottom of the Periodic Table (see image).
The atoms are adding electrons into f orbitals, but the f electrons are not always the last electrons in the electron configuration.
For example, the electron configuration of Eu is [Xe]6s²4f⁷, but that of Gd
is [Xe] 6s²4f⁷5d.
I have blocked off in <em>red</em> all the <em>exceptions</em> like Gd.
Answer:
ide is the correct answer
Explanation:
example compound of sodium and hydrogen in sodium hydroxide
and compound of hydrogen and chlorine is hydrogen chloride
Answer:
N=+2
O=-2
Explanation:
The compound NO is electrically neutral.
Lets assign the oxidation number of nitrogen to be N. The oxidation number of oxygen (-2) is then used as a reference.
For the compound to have a zero charge, sum of the oxidation numbers equals zero.
N+ (-2)=0
N=+2
O=-2
It’s b for sure that’s the answer
