<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option B. Potassium(K).

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Electronic configuration of the given elements are:

  1. Ca - [Ar] 4s²
  2. K - [Ar] 4s¹
  3. B - [He] 2s2 2p1
  4. Kr -  [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶
  1. Krypton(K) have 36 electrons and it is a noble gas and hence all of its shells are completely filled with electrons and hence it will never loose electrons in normal conditions.
  2. Boron(B) have 5 electrons and 3 electrons in its outer shell. In order to attain a stable configuration it will loose 3 electrons and it is difficult to loose 3 electrons at a time for an atom.
  3. Calcium(Ca) have 20 electrons and 2 electrons in its outermost shell, in order to attain a stable configuration it will loose 2 electrons. it is quite difficult but easier than Boron.
  4. Potassium(K) have 21 electrons and 1 electron in its outermost orbit and in order to attain a stable configuration it will loose 1 electron. It is much easier to donate 1 electron than 2 or 3 electrons.

Result: Potassium will loose an electron most easily from the given elements.

Determine the energy in joules of a photon whose frequency is 3.55 x10^17 hz
zaharov [31]
The equation for energy of a photon is E=hv where v equals frequency and h equals the Planck constant (6.626X10^-34). So since you've been given frequency you can just plug in frequency to find the total energy in joules.

E=(3.55X10^17)(6.626X10^-34)
E=2.35223X10^-16

Not sure how many significant figures you needed. Hope this helped.

Why metals are denser than non - metals ? ...?
Solnce55 [7]
Because their molecules are more tightly packed.                       Massdensity = ----------                     Volume
So more densely packed molecules means more mass per unit volume.  Hence metals are denser than non-metals.

Convert 27.7 kilometers to centimeters.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2770000 cm.

Explanation:

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 meter = 100 centimeter

1 kilometer = 100*1000 cm

1 km = 100000 cm.

then,

27.7 kilometers = 2.77 × 10^6 centimeters

So, 27.7 kilometers = 27.7 × 100000

= 2.77 × 106 or 2770000 centimeters.

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure chloroform (CHCl3) is measured to be 91. torr. Suppose a solution is prepare
OleMash [197]

Answer:

P_{CCl_4}=52.43torr

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, sine the solution of this problem require the application of the Raoult's law, assuming heptane is a nonvolatile solute, so we can write:

P_{CCl_4}=x_{CCl_4}P_{CCl_4}^{vap}

Thus, we first calculate the mole fraction of chloroform, by using the given masses and molar masses as shown below:

x_{CCl_4}=\frac{140/153.81}{140/153.81+67.1/100.21}=0.576

Therefore, the partial pressure of chloroform turns out to be:

P_{CCl_4}=0.576*91torr\\\\P_{CCl_4}=52.43torr

Regards!
