Answer:

  • <u><em>Option C) 1s² 2s² 2p⁵</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Ground-state</em> is the configuration of the electrons when every electron of the atom occupies the lowest possible energy level.

The rank of energy of the orbitals may be remembered using Aufbau rules, and it is:

1s² < 2s² < 2p⁶ < 3s² < 3p⁶ < 4s² < 3d¹⁰ < 4p⁶ < 5s² < 4d¹⁰ < 5p⁶ < 6s² < 4f¹⁴ < 5d¹⁰ < 6p⁶ < 7s² < 5f¹⁴ < 6d¹⁰ < 7p⁶

Then, to find whether an electron configuration corresponds to a ground-state one, you must check that the previous order is preserved.

<u>Option A). 1s² 1p⁶ 2d²</u>

The orbital 1p does not exist. So this one is discarded.

<u>Option B) 1s² 2s⁴ 2p⁶</u>

The maximum number of electrons in an s orbital is 2, so 2s⁴ is impossible, and this option is discarded.

<u>Option C) 1s² 2s² 2p⁵</u>

This is correct because the orbitals are filled in the correct increasing energy order, without jumping any one.

<u>Option D) 1s² 2s² 2d⁶</u>

Orbital 2d does not exist, so this option is also discarded.

What is the volume of an object with the mass of 7.9 grams in the density of 2.28g/ml.
Schach [20]

Answer:

3.7mL is the volume of the object

Explanation:

To convert the mass of any object to volume we must use density that is defined as the ratio between mass of the object and the space that is occupying. For an object that weighs 7.9g and the density is 2.28g/mL, the volume is:

7.9g * (1mL / 2.28mL) =

<h3>3.7mL is the volume of the object</h3>

PLEASE HELP!!!!! And thanks in advance
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce. The circulatory system picks up oxygen in the lungs and drops it off in the tissues, then performs the reverse service for carbon dioxide.
