The ground-state electronic configuration follows the order of orbitals as shown in the first picture. So, we can deduce that the electronic configuration given is in order. However, each orbital must have a maximum number of electrons to be filled before it can move on to the next orbital. Since the d orbital must hold 10 electrons, that means that it should have held 5 electrons more. The missing 5 electrons were excited to the next 5p orbital. <em>Thus, there are 5 excited electrons.</em>

Ammonia is produced industrially via this exothermic reaction.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

high pressure of 200-300 atm.

low temp. of between 400-500 degrees celsius:this is for continuous development of ammonia since it decomposes at high temp fathermore the reaction is exothermic

a catalyst to speed up the rate of reaction:i guess it is finely divided iron impregnated in aluminium oxide

platinum can be used as a catalyst but it is easily poisoned

hope it helps

What is the product of the unbalanced equation below?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is D. I'm not sure that it is a solid. I don't think it is a ppte, which is the only way it can be a true solid. It is ionic if the reaction is taking place in water and there is someway to start the reaction. Be that as it may, the internal balace numbers of the chemical produced is the only possible answer. The balanced eq;uatioon is

2Al + 3Br2 ==> 2AlBr3

In the winter , people often buy large bags of rock salt to sprinkle on their walkways . Why do people do this?

slamgirl [31]

The salt causes the water to freeze at a lower temperature. When a solute, aka salt, is introduced to the system, the freezing point is lowered. This makes the water freeze at a lower temperature.
