Answer is: (1) first electron shell.

Aufbau principle is a scheme used to reproduce the electron configurations of the ground states of atoms by successively filling subshells (orbitals) with electrons in a specific order.

Filling subshells in the following order: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f.

For example, atom of calcium.

Atomic number of calcium is 20, it means that it has 20 protons and 20 electrons, so atom of calcium is neutral.

Electron configuration of calcium atom: ₂₀Ca 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s².

just olya [345]

Ionization energy increases from left to right because the left wants to lose elctrons and the right wants to gain electron

As you go a group it is easier lose lose because the electrons are farther away from the nucleus and there is less attraction from the positive charges.

It should be 3p3. the p level can hold 6 electrons

What amount of sucrose (C12H22O11) should be added to 5.83 mol water to lower the vapor pressure of water at 50 °C to 72.0 torr?

Triss [41]

Answer:

The amount of sucrose that must be added is 1.66 moles

Explanation:

Colligative property of lowering vapor pressure has this formula:

Vapor pressure of pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure of solution = P° . Xm

We have both vapor pressure (pure solvent and solution9, so let's determine the ΔP

ΔP = 92.6 Torr - 72 Torr = 20.6 Torr

Let's add the data in the formula

20.6 Torr = 92.6 Torr . Xm

Xm = Mole fraction of solute → (mol of solute/ mol of solute + mol of solvent)

Mol of solvent = 5.83 mol (data from the problem)

Therefore Xm = 20.6 Torr / 92.6 Torr → 0.222

Let's find out the moles of solute (our unknown value)

0.22 = moles of solute / moles of solute + 5.83 moles of solvent

0.222 (moles of solute + 5.83 moles of solvent) = moles of solute

0.222 moles of solute + 1.29 moles of solvent = moles of solute

1.29 moles of solvent = moles of solute - 0.222 moles of solute

1.29 moles = 0.778 moles of solute

1.29 / 0.778 = moles of solute → 1.66 moles
