 X: 1S²2S²2P⁶

Y: 1S²2S²2P⁶3S²3P⁶

The statement  which  is most likely   correct  about  the two elements  is

They  will  not react  because  both  have a complete outermost shell and are  stable.


 <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  The  P orbital can   hold a maximum  of   6  electrons,therefore the 2P orbital for x  and  3P  orbital  for  Y   which are  outermost  subshell  are  fully filled .


This make   element Y and x  stable  since they  cannot  react either by gaining or losing electrons.

3. Which part of Thomson's plum pudding model was different from Rutherford's model?
horsena [70]

Answer:

The difference between the Thompson's plum pudding model and the Rutherford atom model is the location of the electrons (option a).

Explanation:

While Thompson compared his atom to a plum pudding, where the electrons floated freely in the pudding, Rutherford established the arrangement of the electrons in orbitals, which were found around the atomic nucleus like the planets around the sun.

Rutherford's findings also established the existence of a small, positively charged nucleus.

<em>Thompson and Rutherford models did not differentiate between the charges of electrons and protons , overall charges or overall size of the atom.</em>

What happens during carbon fixation during photosynthesis?
IRISSAK [1]

Photosynthesis, is another form of carbon fixation that can take place in the absence of sunlight. The Calvin cycle has two parts. First carbon dioxide is ‘‘fixed’’. Then ATP and NADPH from the light reactions provide energy to combine the fixed carbons to make sugar. Animals and other organisms cannot take in CO2 directly. They have to eat other organisms or absorb other organic molecules in order to get the Carbon that you need. Autotrophs can build low-energy inorganic CO2 into high-energy organic molecules like glucose. Autotrophs are an organism that is capable of synthesizing  its own food from inorganic substances using light or chemical energy such as green plants, algae and other bacteria. carbon fixation is the first step of a cycle
