4 0

Answer:

12 orbitals

Explanation:

The suborbital = d orbital.

n = 4

The orbital is 4d.

There are 5 degenerate orbitals of d orbitals. Thus m value, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 .

Thus, number of orbitals = 5

The suborbital = f orbital.

n = 4

The orbital is 4f.

There are 7 degenerate orbitals of f orbitals. Thus m value, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3

Thus, number of orbitals = 7

Total number of orbitals = 7 + 5 = 12

What process is the foundation of almost all food webs

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs

A reaction occurs via the following sequence of elementary steps. What is the reaction intermediate?

Trava [24]

Answer:

C is the reaction intermediate.

Explanation:

A reaction intermediate is a molecular structure that is formed during the reaction but then is converted in the final products.

Usually, these reaction intermediates are unestable and, for that reason, the lifetime of these structures is low.

In the reaction, you can see in the first step C is produced, but also, in the second step reacts producing D. As is produced and, immediately consumed,

<h3>C is the reaction intermediate.</h3>

In the following chemical reaction, which element is shown to be violating the law of conservation of mass? C3H8 + 4O2 -> 3CO

AlexFokin [52]

Checking if it is balanced:

C
3 3

H
8 4*2 = 8

O
8 3*2 + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
8 10

Only O is not balanced.

So O is violating the law. Option C.
