Answer:

l = 0

Explanation:

Second quantum number, also known as angular momentum quantum number (l), represents the shape of an orbital. Several quantum numbers and their corresponding orbital shapes are worth remembering:

l = 0, this is an s-shaped orbital;
l = 1, this is a p-shaped orbital;
l = 2, this is a d-shaped orbital;
l = 3, this is a f-shaped orbital

Notice that the angular momentum quantum number might be identified solely from the letter. Since we're considering a $2s$ orbital, this means we're dealing with an s orbital. As defined above, s-shaped orbital would have an l value of l = 0.

Explain why there was a reaction between zinc metal and a salt solution of copper sulphate please help me

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

When zinc is added to copper sulphate (CUSO4) solution due to more reactivity of zinc, cooper is replaced by the zinc and forms zinc sulphate. During the process, the colour of the solution changes from blue to colourless.

How many atoms are in 3.0 moles of NA?

Vanyuwa [196]

Avogadro's number is the number of atoms in one mole of a substance. The number is 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol. So, if you have 1 mole of carbon atoms, there will be 6.022 x 10^23 atoms in that sample.

I need help on 26, 28, 36-40

gtnhenbr [62]

26. a megagram = 10⁶ grams while a kilogram = 10³ grams, so the megagram is bigger

28. a mililiter = 10⁻³ liters while a microliter = 10⁻⁶ liters, so the mililiter is bigger

36. 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so the decimal moves right 2 places

37. 1 micrometer is equal to 0.001 milimeters, so the decimal moves left 3 places

38. 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00001 kilometers, so the decimal moves left 5 places

39. 1 micrometer is equal to 10⁻¹² megameters, so the decimal moves left 12 places

40. 1 kilometer is equal to 100000 centimeters, so the decimal moves right 5 places
