The purpose of the scientific method "to use an experiment to test a scientific theory".

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Researchers use the scientific method when conducting experiments to collect observable, empirical data in a hypothesis-related experiment , the findings that tend to justify or oppose a theory. It's also very important that other researchers can repeat and independently verify the conclusions, logic, and experiments.

Scientific method retains inductive reasoning its position. Scientists use this to formulate theories and hypotheses. In order to adapt the ideas to particular situations, deductive reasoning allows them to do so. Overall scientific methods have become path of analyzing different processes, going in our environment.

The quantum numbers for the last electron placed in three elements are listed below. Which of these is(are) NOT correct? Er (4 3

UNO [17]

Answer:

The three elements Erbium, Thallium and Osmium have incorrect quantum numbers for the last electron placed.

Explanation:

The 4 quantum numbers are (n,l,ml,ms):

n (Principal quantum number): it is the number of the shell (level) where the electron is placed.
l (Angular momentum quantum number or Secondary): it represents the sublevel where the electron is placed. There are 4 subleves: s, p d and f so secondary quantum number can take the number 0 (s), 1 (p), 2 (d) or 3 (f) depending on which sublevel the electron is placed.
ml (Magnetic quantum number): it represents the spatial orientation of the electron in respect of the sublevel the electron is placed. For example: if the electron occupies the s sublevel the magnetic number will be 0, if the electron occupies the p sublevel the magnetic number could be -1,0,1, if the electron occupies the d sublevel the magnetic number could be -2,-1,0,1,2 and if the electron occupies the f sublevel the magnetic number could be -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3. You can see this in the attachment related to the correct sublevel for the example.

ms (Spin quantum number): this number represents the possible rotation of the electron so it could be 1/2 (which is represented by an up arrow) or -1/2 (represented by an down arrow).

Let's analyze the last electron of each element. You can see the attachment for better understanding. The last electron it is represented with orange color.

- Erbium:

This element has 68 electrons so following the Moeller's Diagram to fill the the electronic configuration, we found that the last electron of Erbium it is in the 4th level (shell), in the f sublevel. As Erbium has 12 electrons in the f sublevel, it is necessary to follow the Hund's rule (electrons must be placed singly in every sublevel before place a parallel electron) to placed correctly all of them. Finally, the last electron of Erbium stays in the middle of the sublevel and it is represented by a down arrow so the correct quantum numbers in the Erbium element are (4,3,1,-1/2).

- Thallium:

This element has 81 electrons and following the Moeller's Diagram, we found that it last electron it is in the 6th level, in the p sublevel. As Thallium has 1 electron in the p sublevel, it is placed singly in the sublevel. So the last electron of Thallium it is represented by an up arrow so the correct quantum numbers in the Thallium element are (6,1,-1,1/2).

- Osmium:

Osmium has 76 electrons and following the steps that we did with we the other elements, we noticed that its last electron it is in the 5th level, in the d sublevel. Following the Hund's rule the last electron of Osmium has a magnetic quantum number of -2 and its spin quantum number is -1/2, so the quantum numbers in the Osmium element are (5,2,-2,-1/2).

Note:

- Remember that the s sublevel has place for 2 electrons, the p sublevel has place for 6 electrons, the d sublevel has place for 10 electrons and the f sublevel has place for 14 electrons.

Sodium is going in group 1, period 3. It contains A. One valence electron in its 3rd energy shell B three valence electron in it

topjm [15]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, one valence electron in its third energy shell and option C, that is, 11 electrons and 11 protons.

Explanation:

The outermost electrons and the ones that take part in the process of bonding are termed as valence electrons. The atomic number of sodium is 11, thus, it possesses 11 protons and the atoms are neutral so it suggests that sodium has 11 electrons. By electronic configuration, it can be seen that in sodium, two electrons are present in the first shell, 8 in the second, and only one electron in the third shell, that is, 2.8.1. The electron present in the third shell is the valence electron.
