Answer:

C. Gamma > beta > alpha

Explanation:

<u>Alpha rays</u> : These are positively charged  and have mass 4u. These contain high energy Helium nucleus with 2 proton and 2 neutron.

These are heavier and maximum charged than beta and gamma particles.They have low velocity,least penetration power (can't travel more than 10-18 cm).

<u>Beta rays</u> : They are negatively charged and have negligible mass.

On emmission of beta particle, neutron is divided into proton and electron. They have less mass and very high velocity, so their penetrating power is more than alpha particles.

<u>Gamma rays</u>: These are parts of electromagnetic spectrum and travel with the speed of light (maximum velocity).Gamma rays do not have mass have maximum penetrating power.

Which electron configuration is correct for a sodium ion?
jeka94

The electron configuration for sodium ion Na⁺ : <u>(2) 2-8</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In an atom there are levels of energy in the shell and sub shell

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub shell is

  • s: 2 electrons
  • p: 6 electrons
  • d: 10 electrons and
  • f: 14 electrons

Charging electrons in the sub shell uses the following sequence:

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc. </em>

Determination of electron configurations based on principles:

• 1. Aufbau: Electrons occupy orbitals of the lowest energy level

• 2 Hund: electrons fill orbitals with the same energy level

• 3. Pauli: no electrons have the same 4 quantum numbers

The alkali metal Na will release electrons to form Na + so that the electron configuration is stable as the noble gas element Ne

electron configuration Ne: [He] 2s² 2p⁶

Na electron configuration: [Ne] 3s¹

electron configuration Na + = [Ne] = [He] 2s² 2p⁶

The maximum number of electrons in the shell K, L, M, N

According to Bohr, the maximum number of electrons that can occupy each atomic shell can be calculated by the formula 2n²

  • K shell (n = 1): 2.1² = 2 electrons
  • L shell (n = 2): 2. 2² = 8 electrons
  • M shell (n = 3): 2. 3² = 18 electrons
  • N shell (n = 4): 2. 4² = 32 electrons

If we look at the configuration of the Na⁺ ion:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ then

on the shell n=1 (1s) there are 2 electrons

on the shells n=2 (2s and 2p) there are 8 electrons

So that the configuration

Na⁺ = 2-8

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

I wouldn't be entirely sure, but I believe your teacher means the energy as in being transferred such as when you are cooking something and how it varies.  Avocado oil has a higher content of unsaturated fats. Olive oil contains a high ratio of monounsaturated fatty acids to satured fatty acids. Avocado oil has a very high smoke point, between 480°F and 520°F (270°C). The oil is a good choice for stir-fry recipes and other high-temperature cooking. It is ideal for searing meats and frying in a wok.

Olive oil’s smoke point varies depending on the processing and the grade. Light olive oil has a smoke point of 430°F, making it suitable for medium-heat frying.

Extra virgin olive oil has a low smoke point, around 220°F. It is unsuitable for high-temperature cooking or frying.

You should keep in mind that when you heat oil to its smoking point, it loses its nutrient content and becomes dangerous for consumption. It leads to the formation of toxic compounds and harmful free radicals which are carcinogenic.

Explanation:

All oils are different.  The "smoke point" of the oil is how the oil is classified.  The smoke point is the temperature at which the oil begins to smoke.  It begins to burn at this point and it can be a fire hazard.  The "flash point" is the temperature at which the oil ignites.
