The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A. (6.5-6.10)/3.19

B. (34.123 + 9.60) / (98.7654 - 9.249)

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The answer becomes 0.1

<u>For B:</u> The answer becomes 0.4884

<u>Explanation:</u>

Significant figures are defined as the figures present in a number that expresses the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy.

Rules for the identification of significant figures:

  • Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
  • All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 664, 6.64 and 66.4 all have three significant figures.
  • All zeros between the integers are always significant. For example: 5018, 5.018 and 50.18 all have four significant figures.
  • All zeros preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.00058 has two significant figures.
  • All zeros after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 2.500, 25.00 and 250.0 all have four significant figures.
  • All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example: 10000 has one significant figure.

<u>Rule applied for addition and subtraction:</u>

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

<u>Rule applied for multiplication and division:</u>

In case of multiplication and division, the number of significant digits is taken from the value which has least precise significant digits

  • <u>For A:</u> (6.5-6.10)/3.19

This a a problem of subtraction and division.

First, the subtraction is carried out.

\Rightarow \frac{6.5-6.10}{3.19}=\frac{0.4}{3.19}

Here, the least precise number after decimal was 1.

\Rightarrow \frac{0.4}{3.19}=0.125

Here, the least precise number of significant digit is 1. So, the answer becomes 0.1

  • <u>For B:</u> (34.123 + 9.60) / (98.7654 - 9.249)

This a a problem of subtraction, addition and division.

First, the subtraction and addition is carried out.

\Rightarow \frac{34.123+9.60}{98.7654-9.249}=\frac{43.723}{89.5164}=\frac{43.72}{89.516}

Here, the least precise number after decimal in addition are 2 and in subtraction are 3

\Rightarrow \frac{43.72}{89.516}=0.48840

Here, the least precise number of significant digit are 4. So, the answer becomes 0.4884

The central Xe atom in the XeF4 molecule has ________ unbonded electron pair(s) and ________ bonded electron pair(s) in its vale
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Lewis structure in attachment.

Explanation:

Atoms of elements in and beyond the third period of the  periodic table form some compounds in which more than eight electrons surround the  central atom. In addition to the 3s and 3p orbitals, elements in the third period also  have 3d orbitals that can be used in bonding. These orbitals enable an atom to form  an <u>expanded octet</u>.

The central Xe atom in the XeF₄ molecule has <u>two</u> unbonded electron pairs and <u>four</u> bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.

Find the quantinum numbers n,m,l,s for the last of potassium layer pleasee help explain correctly all
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Quantum numbers of the outermost electron in potassium:

  • n = 4.
  • l  = 1.
  • m_l = 0.
  • Either m_s = 1/2.

Explanation:

Refer to the electron configuration of a potassium atom. The outermost electron in a ground-state potassium atom is in the 4s orbital (fourth s orbital.)

The quantum number n (the principal quantum number) specifies the main energy shell of an electron. This electron is in the fourth main energy shell (as seen in the number four in the orbital.) Hence, n = 4 for this electron.

The quantum number l (the angular momentum quantum number) specifies the shape (s, p, d, etc.) of an electron. l = 1 for s\! orbitals (such as the one that contains this electron.

Quantum numbers n and l specify the shape of an orbital. On the other hand, the magnetic quantum number m_l specifies the orientation of these orbitals in space.

However, s orbitals are spherical. Regardless of the value of n, the only possible m_l value for electrons in s\! orbitals is m_l = 0.

The spin quantum number m_s distinguishes between the two electrons in an orbital. The two possible values of m_s \! are (+1/2) and (-1/2). Typically, the first electron in an orbital is assigned an upward (\uparrow) spin, which corresponds to m_s = (+1/2).

If an element has an atomic number of 8 and an atomic mass number of 18, would it be an isotope? Why or why not?
hoa [83]

Answer:

It would be an isotope.

Background Information:

Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Explanation:

If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.
