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.

If the hydroxide ion [OH-] concentration of an aqueous solution is 1 x 10 -3 M, what is the [H+] in the solution? Is the solutio
Dominik [7]

Answer:

pH = 11, The solution is Basic.

Explanation:

We know that;

[OH-] [H+] = 1 × 10^-14

we are given; [OH-] as 1 x 10^ -3 M

Therefore, we can get the [H+] by;

[H+] = 1 × 10^-14/[OH-]

       = 1 × 10^-14 M/1 x 10^ -3 M

       =  1 × 10^-11 M

But; pH = - log [H+]

Thus,

pH = - log (1 ×10^-11 M)

     =  11

pH = 11, which means the solution is basic.
