Answer:
            Iron has 5 unpaired electrons in Fe⁺³ state.

Explanation:

Iron having atomic number 26 has following electronic configuration in neutral state.

                             Fe =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶

When Iron looses three electrons it attains +3 charge with following electronic configuration.

                             Fe⁺³ =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 3d⁵

The five electrons in d-orbital exist in unpaired form as,

                          3(dz)¹, 3d(xz)¹, 3d(yz)¹, 3d(xy)¹, 3(dx²-y²)¹

If 16 moles of al react with 3 moles of S8 how many moles of Al2 S3 will be formed
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

8 moles

Explanation:

Al reacts with S_8 to produce Al_2S_3 as

Al+S_8\rightarrow Al_2S_3

The balanced chemical equation is

16Al+3S_8\rightarrow 8Al_2S_3

In the reaction, 16 moles of Al react with 3 moles of S_8 to produce 8 moles of Al_2S_3.

Lithium, beryllium, and boron are elements with atomic number 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Even though they are three of the five
Papessa [141]

Explanation:

These elements are rare because:

<u>Helium fuses into the carbon by the combination of three helium nuclei (Z = 2) and one carbon nucleus (Z = 6), therefore bypassing elements with Z= 3, 4 and 5 which are  lithium, beryllium, and boron respectively. Therefore, the fusion processes in cores of the stars do not form these three elements. </u>
