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.

How many mL of a 2.0M NaBr solution are needed to make 200.0 mL of 0.50M NaBr?
lana66690 [7]
This is a classical C1V1 = C2V2 question. We are given the initial concentration (2.0M), the final concentration (0.5M) and the final volume (200mL). We are asked how many mL of 2.0 M NaBr we require to make up the final concentration and volume, so we are calculating the initial volume (V1)

Therefore:
C1V1 = C2V2
2.0M(V1) = (0.5M)(200.0 mL)
V1 = 50 mL
So 50 mL of NaBr is needed to make a dilution to 0.5M in 200 mL.

What is the mass (in mg) of 2.63 moles of nickel?
zaharov [31]
Data:
Molar Mass of Nickel = 58,7 g/mol

Solving:
58,7 g → 1 mol
y -------→ 2.63 mol

Solving: (They are proportional measures, the rule of three is made (directly proportional)

\frac{58.7}{y} = \frac{1}{2.63}
multiply cross
1*y = 58.7*2.63
y = 154.381\:g \stackrel{converting}{\longrightarrow}\:\boxed{y = 154381\:mg}
