Answer:

1) A (valid)

2) B (Invalid)

3) B (Invalid)

4) A (valid)

5) B (Invalid)

6) B (Invalid)

Explanation:

Electronic configuration:

The electronic configuration is the arrangnment of electrons in orbitals (s, p, d, f, g, h so on) according to quantum number and Aufbau rule.

An atom of element have orbitals, and electrons are revolving in it.

There are quantum numbers that describe the number of electron in specific shell.

The Principle quantum number is denoted by "n" and can not be "0".

These "n" is K, L, M, N and electrons are distribution in it.

K =2

L= 8

M= 18

According to Aufbau electron occupied in the lowest energy level before occupying the highest energy level.

According to this the electronic configuration is

1s², 2s², 2p⁶ and so on....

So,

"s" orbital accommodate maximum of 2 electrons

"p" orbital accommodate maximum of 6 electrons

"d" orbital accommodate maximum of 10 electrons

"f" orbital accommodate maximum of 14 electrons

and the coefficient 1, 2, 3, 4 are energy level of orbitals.

The 1st orbital is 1s and it only can occupy 2 electrons the next coming electron goes into 2s that also can occupy 2 electrons and the further electrons will go to 2p orbital.

So keeping in mind all above details we investigate all option one by one

1. A (valid)

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁵

This is valid option. number of electrons are rightly accommodated in orbitals. Also 3d is higher energy level than 4p.

______________

2. B (Invalid)

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁷

This is invalid option. number of electrons are not rightly accommodated in orbitals as "p" orbital can only accommodate 6 electrons and not more than 6.

________________

3. B (Invalid)

[Xe], 7s², 6d¹, 5f⁸

This is Invalid option. Number of electrons are not rightly accommodated in orbitals. There should 5f orbital before 6d.

______________

4. A (valid)

[Kr] 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁵

This is valid option. number of electrons are rightly accommodated in orbitals.

______________

5. B (Invalid)

[He]--

This is invalid option. There is no exact explanation of electron distribution in orbitals.

______________

6. B (Invalid)

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s³, 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s--

This is invalid option. number of electrons are not rightly accommodated in orbitals. As "s" can accommodate only 2 electrons not 3 electrons. also there is no details of 5s

It takes 26.8 mL of a 0.0700 M NaOH standard solution to neutralize a 250 mL sample of lactic acid (C3H6O3). What mass of lactic

Butoxors [25]

There is 1 OH- in 1 molecule of NaOH.
Also, there is 1 H+ in 1 molecule of lactic acid.

So the reaction is simple.
so just equate the moles
moles of OH- in NaOH = moles of H+ in lactic acid
26.8 x 0.07 = 250 x Mole of lactic
Moles of lactic = 0.0075

so mass = 0.0075 x 90.8 = 0.681 g

List the substances Ar, Cl2, CH4, and CH3COOH, in order of increasing strength of intermolecular attractions. List the substance

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction:

$CH_3COOH$ > $Cl_2$ > $CH_4$ > Ar

Explanation:

$CH_3COOH$ can form hydrogen bond as H atom is attached with electronegative atom O.

Rest three, $Cl_2$ , $CH_4$ , Ar are non-polar molecules.

In non-polar molecules, van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attractions exist. Hydrogen bonding is stronger intermolecular attraction then van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attraction, hence, $CH_3COOH$ has strongest intermolecular attractions.

Ar will have least intermolecular attraction, as it behaves almost as ideal gas and there is no intermolecular attraction exist between molecules of ideal gases.

Molecular size and mass of $Cl_2$ is high as compared to $CH_4$ .

van der Waals intermolecular forces of attraction increases with increase in size.

Therefore,

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction will be:

$CH_3COOH$ > $Cl_2$ > $CH_4$ > Ar

How does the electron configuration of elements within the same group compare? (A.) They all have their valence electrons in the

lesya [120]

Answer:

B.They all have their valence electrons in the same type of subshell

Explanation:

The electron configurations of elements in the same group (column) of the periodic table have them in the same type of subshell.
But the subshells may be of different shells. Thus , the energies of them need not be the same.
For example , The Alkalai Metals are found in the first column of the periodic table Group IA. This set of elements all have valence electrons in only the ' $s$ ' orbital and because they are in the first column they all have $s^{1}$ configuration. i.e,

H $1s^1$
Li $1s^2 2s^1$
Na $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$
K $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^64s^1$
