If Na was to form a 2 ion, from what orbital subshell would the second electron be lost?

Chemistry

3 0

Answer:

2p

Explanation:

Sodium has an atomic number of 11, thus, the neutral atom has 11 electrons. The electron configuration is:

Na: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

To gain stability, it loses an electron from its outer shell to form the cation Na⁺. Its electron configuration is:

Na⁺: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

If it were to lose a second electron to form a Na²⁺ cation, the electron should be lost from the 2p orbital subshell and its electron configuration would be:

Na²⁺: 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

There is a structure of CH3CH2CHCHCH2CH3, with a –CH2CH3 group attached to the third and fourth carbons.
NARA [144]

Explanation:

2,3-diethyl hexane

At first we select a long chain.

Then, we number that chain from that side where substituent position is closer.

Then, we write it's IUPAC name

Position of substituent + substituent name + chain name + suffix

Here,

2,3 + -diethyl + hex + -ane

= 2,3-diethyl hexane

HELP PLS PLEASSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
andriy [413]
Okay.. so I guess this is how it goes:

1. Rainforest
2. Temperate deciduous
3. Marine
4. Taiga
5. Tundra

Pls don't completely rely on it, this is my best guess and it's probably right except with Marine life and temperature deciduous. 70% I feel like it would temperate then marine. But check with urself again. Hope this helped..
