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.

A trucker is driving from New Jersey to California to make a delivery of couches. He forgets to adjust the pressure of his tires
aniked [119]

Answer:

<u>Gay-Lussac's law.</u>

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac's pressure law, it states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is <em>directly</em> proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, the assumption that the volume is kept constant.

Hence, the trucker's tires were blown up because they were under high pressure as he drove from New Jersey to California, as a result of this intense pressure the temperature of the air in the tires began to rise and it directly affected the pressure of the gas in the tires' tubes which also increased to a point that they ended up blowing out, obeying Gay-Lussac's law.

List two non-metal elements that combine with three hydrogen atoms to satisfy the octet rule
viva [34]
  • Nitrogen as in NH₃.
  • Phosphorous as in PH₃.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

Hydrogen is in group 1. It is one electron away from the next noble gas element. It would form one single covalent bond when it bonds to nonmetals.

A nonmetal atom will gain three extra electrons when it bonds to three hydrogen atoms. For the molecule to be stable, that nonmetal atom should be three electrons away from the next noble gas element. Each of the atoms in question should contain 8 - 3 = 5 valence electrons when neutral. Which column on a periodic table contains such elements?
