Explain why desert soils tend to be rich in minerals but poor in topsoil

Chemistry
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
7 0
Desert soil has poor topsoil and hardly any organic material in it.

This is because regularly watered soil provides the perfect environment for certain bacteria, bugs and other organisms to grow which in turn provide quality topsoil.

In a desert with very little rain, the perfect environment is never produced, which results in a lot of minerals but poor topsoil for any quality agriculture to take place.

Explain why the quantum number set (3, 3, -2, +½) is not possible for an electron in a ground-state atom.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:- It's not correct because the values of n and l are same.

Explanations:- The four quantum numbers are n, l, ml and ms where n stands for Principal quantum number and has values like 1, 2, 3 and so on.

l stands for azimuthal quantum number and has values from 0 to (n-1) where n is principal quantum number.

For the given set of quantum numbers, value of n is 3. So, the possible values of l would be 0,1 and 2.

The value of l for the given set of quantum numbers is 3 which is the reason why the given set is not possible.
