Answer:

Explanation:

The orbital notations shows the sequence of filling electrons into the orbitals of sublevels.

This filling is based on some certain principles.

For an atom with 16 electrons, the orbital diagram is shown below:

                        1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴

  • The maximum number of electrons in each sublevel of the orbitals are:

                  2 electrons for s-sublevel with one orbital

                  6 electrons for p-sublevel with three orbital

                  10 electrons for d-sublevel with five orbital

                  14 electrons for f-sublevel with seven orbital

  • According to the Aufbau's principle, sublevels with lower energy are filled before those with higher energy.

                            1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d etc

  • Pauli's exclusion principle shows that no two electrons can have the same set of values for the four quantum numbers. Simply, no two electrons can spin in the same direction.

  • Hund's rule states that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levles(s,p,d and f) singly before pairing commences.

      This rule shows that in each energy level, as the electron goes into the degenerate orbitals, they fill it one by one before they begin to pair up. As we know, each degenerate orbital can only accomodate 2 electrons.

  From the orbital diagram 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴, the 3p sublevel has 3 orbitals. In each of the orbitals, two electrons would occupy them to give a maximum capacity of 6. But the sublevel has just 4 electrons. Based on Hund's rule, an electron will go into each of the 3 orbitals first. The remaining electron will now pair with the first degenerate orbital. This makes a total of 4 electrons.

A buffer is made by dissolving H3PO4 and NaH2PO4 in water.
xeze [42]

Answer:

(a) H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻(aq) ⟶ H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

(b) OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) ⟶ 2H₂O(ℓ)

Explanation:

The equation for your buffer equilibrium is:

H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq)+ H₂PO₄⁻(aq)

(a) Adding H₃O⁺

The hydronium ions react with the basic dihydrogen phosphate ions.

H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻(aq) ⟶ H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

(b) Adding OH⁻

The OH⁻ ions react with the more acidic hydronium ions.

OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) ⟶ 2H₂O(ℓ)

kow [346]

Owing to the arrangement of ions in NaCl, the structure has a high melting point and crystalline structure.

Ionic compounds are know to have a crystalline structure. This is because the ions in the compound are arranged into a crystal lattice. A crystal lattice gives a regular repeating structure of ions in the crystal.

As a result of this order in the crystal, the resultant sodium chloride structure has a high melting point and crystalline structure.
