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

Conservation of mass was discussed in the background. describe how conservation of mass (actual, not theoretical) could be check

rosijanka [135]

Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:

1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.

2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.

3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.

If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step 3.

.325 mol KOH to grams

lesya [120]

The answer is 18.23432 grams.

Molar mass of KOH= 56.1056

$( \frac{1 mol}{56.1056 grams}) (\frac{.325 mol}{x grams})$ = 18.234 grams

Which element would mostly have chemical properties similar to that of magnesium (Mg)?

DanielleElmas [232]

The elements of same group are placed in same group as they have similar properties. So Calcium is the element which resembles Mangesium.

Calcium and Magnesium both are alkaline earth metals.

They have similar properties as they have similar outer or valence shell electronic configuration

The general electronic configuration of alkaline earht metal is ns2

The electronic configuration of Mg [atomic number 12] and Ca [atomic number 20] are

$[Ne]3s^{2}$ and $[Ar]4s^{2}$ respectively.

What does a metal's position in an activity series indicate about the chemical properties of that particular metal?

Fed [463]

The closer to the top the metal is in the list, the more active the metal is and the stronger a reducing agent the metal is. When two different metals are involved in a redox reaction, the metal higher in the list will be oxidized and give up electrons that will reduce the cation of the less active metal.
