Hey there!

Explain why the 4s sublevel fills before the 3d begins to fill as electrons are added.

Electrons occupy orbitals in a definite sequence, filling orbitals with lower energies first. Generally, orbitals in a lower energy level have lower energies than those in a higher energy level. But, in the third level the energy ranges of the principal energy levels begin to overlap. As a result, the 4s sublevel is lower in energy than the 3d sublevel, so it fills first.


Hope this helps

Answer: The energy of the 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell.

Explanation:

During the filling of electrons in subshells, the lower energy levels are filled before the higher energy levels. Also known as Aufbau principle.

Energy of the sublevel = (n + l)

where : n = Principal quantum number

             l = Azimuthal quantum number(s=0,p=1,d=2,f=3)

Energy of 4-s subshell= (4+0) = 4

Energy of 3-d subshell=(3+2) = 5

Energy of 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell, that is why 4s orbital is filled before the 3-d subshell.

Plants get energy from the​
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Plants need energy from the sun, water from the soil, and carbon from the air to grow. Air is mostly made of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. So how do plants get the carbon they need to grow? They absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

The reactant concentration in a second-order reaction was 0.560 m after 115 s and 3.30×10−2 m after 735 s . what is the rate con
Aloiza [94]
Use the formula for second order reaction:

\frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{C_0} + kt

C = concentration at time t 
C0 =  initial conc.
k = rate constant
t = time

1st equation :   \frac{1}{0.56} = \frac{1}{C_0} + 115k

2nd Equation: \frac{1}{0.033} = \frac{1}{C_0} + 735k

Find \frac{1}{C_0} from 1st equation and put it in 2nd equation:

\frac{1}{0.033} = \frac{1}{0.56} - 115k + 735k

\frac{1}{0.033} - \frac{1}{0.56} = 620k

k = 0.046

WORTH 80 POINTS PLEASE HELP
Verdich [7]

The two bulges are called tidal bulges. There are two tidal bulges on opposite sides of Earth. One is beneath the moon and the other is opposite to that. The one below the moon is thought of as gravitational. It is produced by gravitational attraction between water molecules in the ocean and the moon.

<span>Now, about the other bulge. Think about inertia and what happens when masses rotate around a single point. Imagine yourself swinging a bucket of any liquid with your arm in a circular gesture. Even as the bucket goes over your head, the water is still held in the bucket and doesn't splash all over you. This rotation creates a centrifugal force. A similar event occurs during the lunar month as the earth/moon system rotates. The moon orbits the earth, but the rotation axis for this orbit isn't earth's center. Both the moon and Earth move during the roughly 28-day period it takes for the orbit, and because of this, water in the ocean is thrown to the outside, the same as the water in your bucket. The tidal bulge on the opposite side of Earth from the moon is produced by this inertial effect, referred to as centrifugal force.</span>
