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

Chemistry

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

LenaWriter [7]
Let's say say there are n1 mols of helium in the first balloon and n2 mols of nitrogen in the second one, which are equivalent to m1 grams of helium and m2 grams of nitrogen.

The molar mass of hydrogen is thus M1=m1/n1, same for nitrogen M2=m2/n2 hence the ratio of their masses is m1/m2=(M1n1)/(M2n2). Since both gases are rather similar, we can assume that n1~n2 hence m1/m2=M1/M2

An organic compound is 61.5% C, 2.56% H and 35.9% N by mass. 2.00 grams of this gas is entered into a 300.0 mL flask and heated
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

C₄H₂N₂

Explanation:

First we<u> calculate the moles of the gas</u>, using PV=nRT:

P = 2670 torr ⇒ 2670/760 = 3.51 atm

V = 300 mL ⇒ 300/1000 = 0.3 L

T = 228 °C ⇒ 228 + 273.16 = 501.16 K

  • 3.51 atm * 0.3 L = n * 0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 501.16 K
  • n = 0.0256 mol

Now we<u> calculate the molar mass of the compound</u>:

  • 2.00 g / 0.0256 mol = 78 g/mol

Finally we use the percentages given to<em> </em><u>calculate the empirical formula</u>:

  • C ⇒ 78 g/mol * 61.5/100 ÷ 12g/mol = 4
  • H ⇒ 78 g/mol * 2.56/100 ÷ 1g/mol = 2
  • N ⇒ 78 g/mol * 35.9/100 ÷ 14g/mol = 2

So the empirical formula is C₄H₂N₂

Match the following items. Match the items in the left column to the items in the right column. 1. general or nonspecific observ
ivann1987 [24]
when column B is like the attached pic: (missing in your question)

so the matches will be like that:

1- Qualitative :

as Qualitative is a general or nonspecific observation, they also don't require

measurements and even can't be measured, that is because of the reality is

being approximated only. It  describes qualities and uses opinion

2- Hypothesis : 

as a hypothesis is an educated guess quantitative, and it is a prediction stated

in " If and then " form. a hypothesis to be valid need a research such as:

-Encyclopedia & state and local research facilities & scientific journals.

3- Direct relationship:

as a Direct relationship is when two variable change in the same direction,

and one remaining larger than the other by the same factory.  

- this is a type of a relationship in which there is a change with one variable, and corresponding with the change in the other. and because this corresponding change with the other variable in the same direction so it refers to a positive relationship. 

4- Quantitative:

as Quantitative is a measured observation, It's an information or data based

on quantities obtained. And using numbers, equipment and standard units.

5- Control :

as control is standard, reference data or experiment qualitatively. this is what

you compare your experimental results to. This is for comparing results, it

used as a standard for comparison and use baseline measurements to use in

the comparing.

6- Theory :

 as Theory is a presently accepted explanation of how something happened.

 Scientifically acceptable general principles to explain phenomena. It the

general or abstract principles of the science. for example the  wave theory of

light.

7- Law :

as a law is a statement that explains what something does under the same

conditions. when we take about law in science, it is a general rule to explain

the observations in the form of a mathematical statement. Scientific law may 

be stated in words or expressed as a mathematical equations.

8- Best fit curve:

as best fit curve is a curve drawn to average the data's deviations direct

relationship. It is a process of constructing a curve that has best fit to a

series of data points.
