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.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Planetesimal

Explanation:

According to Nebular Theory, the Solar system was formed from the Solar Nebula about 4.6 billion years ago. Nebula is a molecular cloud composed of dust and gases. Majority of the mass accreted to form a core which gradually formed the Sun. The remaining mass of the disk surrounding the core accreted into small bodies known as Planetesimal which formed the planets.

How many moles are in 3.4 x 10-7 grams of Silicon dioxide, SiO2?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.057 × 10⁻⁷  mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of SiO₂ = 3.4 × 10⁻⁷ g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of SiO₂ = 60 g/mol

by putting values,

Number of moles =  3.4 × 10⁻⁷ g / 60 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.057 × 10⁻⁷  mol

What is diffusion?<br>Class 9th <br>Chemistry <br><br><br><br><br>​
tester [92]

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration . Diffusion happens in liquids and gases because their particles move randomly from place to place . Diffusion is an important process for living things ; it is how substances move in and out of cells .
