Answer:

In an atom, the first energy level can hold  <u><em>2</em></u> electrons. The second energy level can hold <em><u>8</u></em> electrons. The third energy level can hold  <u><em>18 </em></u>electrons.

Explanation:

There are 7 energy levels, numbered from 1 to 7, and in which electrons are distributed. Each level is divided into sub-levels. These sub-levels into which each level is divided can be up to 4 and these are called: s, p, d, f. In the sub-level s there can only be a maximum of 2 electrons, in p there can be a maximum of 6 electrons, in the sub-level d 10 electrons and finally in the sub-level f there can be a maximum of 14 electrons.

In level 1 there is only one sub-level, which will be the s. In level 2 there are 2 sub-levels, the s and the p. At level 3 there are 3 sub-levels s, p and d. And at level 4 there are 4 sub-levels, the s, the p, the d and the f.

As in level 1 there is only the sub-level s, and this sub-level can only contain 2 electrons at most, then <u><em>the first energy level can hold  2 electrons.</em></u>

As in level 2 there is the sub-level s and p, and these sub-levels can only contain 2 and 6 electrons at most respectively, by adding them you get that <u><em>the second energy level can hold 8 electrons.</em></u>

As in level 3 there is the sub-level s, p and d, and these sub-levels can only contain 2, 6 and 10 electrons at most respectively, by adding them you get that <u><em>the third energy level can hold 18 electrons.</em></u>

The maximum number of electrons in each level can also be calculated by means of the expression: 2*n², where n is the level to which the electrons belong. Then:

  • First Level: 2*1²= 2 electrons
  • Second Level: 2*2²= 8 electrons
  • Third Level: 2*3²= 18 electrons

You can see that you get the same amount of electrons, so either of the two ways of thinking is correct.

in an experiment 3.5g of element A reacted with 4.0g of element G to form a compound Calculate the empirical formula for this co
kolezko [41]

Additional information

Relative atomic mass(Ar) : A=7, G=16

The empirical formula : A₂G

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

3.5g of element A

4.0g of element G

Required

the empirical formula for this compound

Solution

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.

The empirical formula also shows the simplest mole ratio of the constituent elements of the compound

mol of element A :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{Ar}\\\\mol=\dfrac{3.5}{7}=0.5

mol of element G :

\tt mol=\dfrac{4}{16}=0.25

mol ratio A : G = 0.5 : 0.25 = 2 : 1

The balanced combustion reaction for C₆H₆

2C₆H₆(l)+15O₂(g)⇒ 12CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)  +6542 kJ

MW C₆H₆ : 78.11 g/mol

mol C₆H₆ :

\tt \dfrac{8.5}{78.11}=0.109

Heat released for 2 mol C₆H₆ =6542 kJ, so for 1 mol

\tt \dfrac{0.109}{2}\times 6542=356.539~kJ/mol

Heat transferred to water :

Q=m.c.ΔT

\tt 356.539=5.691~kg\times 4.18~kj/kg^oC\times (t_2-21)\\\\t_2-21=15\rightarrow t_2=36^oC
