If you are referring to nuclear power plants and radioactive materials, then there is a high necessity to be cautious and stay safe because only by being safe you can prevent accidents like those caused in Ukraine and Japan. Unlike other types of power plants whose destruction in case of an accident can relatively easily be contained, nuclear power plants are extremely difficult to manage if things go out of hand since you can destroy the air around it, the water, the food by ruining the soil, and many other things.

What neutral element has the electron configuration described by the Aufbau diagram above.​
devlian [24]

Answer:

Aluminium.

Explanation:

The above electronic configuration can be written in a simplified form as shown below:

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p¹

Next, we shall determine the number of electrons in the atom of the element as follow:

Number electron = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 1

Number of electron = 13

Next, we shall determine the number of protons.

Since the element is in its neutral state,

The number of electrons and protons are equal i.e

Proton = Electron

Number of electron = 13

Proton = Electron = 13

Proton = 13

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element.

The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element i.e

Atomic number = proton number

Proton = 13

Atomic number = 13

Comparing the atomic number of the element with those in the periodic table, the element with the above electronic configuration is aluminium since no two elements have the same atomic number.

A pool owner adds a compound containing chlorine to the pool to disinfect it. However, too much of the compound is added. As a r
MrMuchimi

Answer: He could add a base to the pool to neutralize the acid.

Explanation:

Chlorine is used to disinfect the pools as it produces hypochlorous acid in water. This hypochlorous acid is unstable and gives hydrochloric acid and nascent oxygen which is used to disinfect.

Cl_2+H_2O\rightarrow HOCl

HOCl\rightarrow HCl+O

The excess acid is neutralized by adding base which produces salt and water and thus decrease the acidity.

Acid+Base\rightarrow Salt+water

Adding more acid would increase the acidity further.
