Answer: nS²

Answer: According to the periodic law, elements that fall into the same group have similar properties.

All the alkaline earth metals are in group two of the periodic table. The have 2 electrons in their outermost shell. In the SPDF electronic configuration the ground state of all alkaline earth have S² two electrons in their outermost S sublevel.

Example the electronic configuration of some alkaline earth metals are

Beryllium [He] 2S²

Magnesium is [Ne] 3S² and

Calcium is [Ar] 4S²

the general electronic configuration for alkaline earth metals is nS²

Answer:

The atomic number equals the charge on the nucleus. It therefore also equals the number of protons in the nucleus and also equals numerically the number of electrons in the neutral atom. The atomic number has the symbol Z.

Does it take more, less, or the same amount of heat to melt 1.0 kg of ice at 0°C, or to bring 1.0 kg of liquid water at 0°C to t

Murljashka [212]

Answer : It takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

Solution :

The process involved in this problem are :

$(1):H_2O(s)(0^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC)\\\\(2):H_2O(l)(0^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC)$

Now we have to calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed in both processes.

<u>For process 1 :</u>

$Q_1=m\times \Delta H_{fusion}$

where,

$Q_1$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water or ice = 1.0 Kg

$\Delta H_{fusion}$ = enthalpy change for fusion = $3.35\times 10^5J/Kg$

Now put all the given values in $Q_1$ , we get:

$Q_1=1.0Kg\times 3.35\times 10^5J/Kg=3.35\times 10^5J$

<u>For process 2 :</u>

$Q_2=m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

$Q_2$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 1.0 Kg

$c_{p,l}$ = specific heat of liquid water = $4186J/Kg^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $0^oC$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $100^oC$

Now put all the given values in $Q_2$ , we get:

$Q_2=1.0Kg\times 4186J/Kg^oC\times (100-0)^oC$

$Q_2=4.186\times 10^5J$

From this we conclude that, $Q_1$ that means it takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

Hence, the it takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

Why chemically did the prescribing of thalidomide for morning sickness in pregnant women lead to tragic consequences, including

Dominik [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The drug thalidomide with molecular formula C13H10N2O4 was widely prescribed by doctors for morning sickness in pregnant women in the 1960s.

The drug was sold as a racemic mixture (+)(R)-thalidomide and (-)(S)-thalidomide.

Unfortunately, only the (+)(R)-thalidomide exhibited the required effect while (-)(S)-thalidomide is a teratogen.

This goes a long way to underscore the importance of separation of enantiomers in drug production.

Therefore, all the teratogenic effects observed when using the drug thalidomide was actually as a result of the presence of (-)(S)-thalidomide, the unwanted enantiomer.
