Answer is: it is not possible, because orbital (azimunthal) quantum number cannot be 2.

The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.

For principal quantum number n=2:

1) azimuthal quantum number (l) can be l = 0...n-1:

l = 0, 1.  

The azimuthal quantum number determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.  

2) magnetic quantum number (ml) can be ml = -l...+l.

ml = -1, 0, +1.

Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.

3) the spin quantum number (ms), is the spin of the electron.

ms = +1/2, -1/2.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:51.1%

Explanation:

Mass percent : It is defined as the mass of the given component present in the total mass of the compound. Formula used : First we have to calculate the mass of  and . Mass of  = 18 g/mole Mass of  = 7 × 18 g/mole = 126 g/mole Mass of  = 246.47 g/mole Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mass percent of  in . Therefore, the mass percent of  in  is, 51.1%

Butanal, an aldehyde, can be made from 1-bromobutane, but it requires two reactions in sequence. What are the two reagents that
hammer [34]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

My aim is to convert 1-bromobutane to butanal. The first step is to react the 1-bromobutane substrate with water. This reaction occurs by SN2 mechanism to yield 1-butanol. Hence reagent A is water.

1-butanol is now reacted with an oxidizing agent such as acidified K2Cr2O7 (reagent B) to yield butanal. Note that primary alkanols are oxidized to alkanals.

These sequence of reactions are shown in the image attached.
