Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.

Write the general electron configuration of a transition element(b) in Period 6.

aksik [14]

The general electronic configuration of transition element is (n−1)d1−10ns1−2.

<h3>What are the transition element in period 6?</h3>

The period 6 transition metals are;

Lanthanum (La), Hafnium (Hf), Tantalum (Ta), Tungsten (W),

Rhenium (Re), Osmium (Os), Iridium (Ir), pPatinum (Pt),

Gold (Au), and Mercury (Hg).

As a rule, period 6 elements fill their 6s shells first, then their 4f, 5d, and 6p shells, in that order.

However, there are exceptions, such as gold.

how many moles of potassium dichromate (k2cr2o7) are required to prepare a 250-ml solution of with a concentration of 2.16 m?

Eva8 [605]

The moles of potassium dichromate , K₂Cr₂O₇ are required to prepare a 250 mL solution of with a concentration of 2.16 M is 0.54 mol.

given that :

molarity = 2.16 M

volume = 250 mL = 0.25 L

the molarity is given as :

molarity = number of moles / volumes in L

from this we can calculate the number of moles, we get :

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = molarity × volume

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = 2.16 × 0.25

number of moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ = 0.54 mol

Thus, The moles of potassium dichromate , K₂Cr₂O₇ are required to prepare a 250 mL solution of with a concentration of 2.16 M is 0.54 mol.

Use the Gizmo to estimate the age of each of the objects below. For these questions, each second in the Gizmo represents 1,000 y

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

AT = A0 e(-T/H)

... where A0 is the starting activity, AT is the activity at some time T, and H is the half-life, in units of T.

Substituting what we know, we get...

0.71 = (1) e(-T/5730)

Solve for T...

loge(0.71) = -T/5730

T = -loge(0.71)(5730)

T = 1962 (conservatively rounded, T = 2000)

similarly for all

for aboriginal charcoal

0.28 = (1) e(-T/5730)

Solve for T...

loge(0.28) = -T/5730

T = -loge(0.28)(5730)

T = 7294 (conservatively rounded, T = 7000)

for mayan headdress

0.89 = (1) e(-T/5730)

Solve for T...

loge(0.89) = -T/5730

T = -loge(0.89)(5730)

T = 667 (conservatively rounded, T = 700)

for neanderthal

0.05 = (1) e(-T/5730)

Solve for T...

loge(0.05) = -T/5730

T = -loge(0.05)(5730)

T = 17165 (conservatively rounded, T = 17000)
