Answer:

b) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 4d8

Explanation:

Electron configuration of an atom is given based on the Aufbau principle which states that electrons are arranged in orbitals such that the lower energy orbitals are filled first. The increasing energy order of orbitals is:

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p....

s, p ,d  orbitals can accommodate a maximum of 2,6 and 8 electrons respectively.

Based on the above ordering, the most reasonable ground state configuration would be:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 4d8

How many liters of oxygen gas, at standard
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • For the balanced reaction:

<em>4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s)​.</em>

It is clear that 4 mol of Fe react with 3 mol of O₂ to produce 2 mol of Fe₂O₃.

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 35.8 grams of Fe metal:

no. of moles of Fe = mass/molar mass = (35.8 g)/(55.845 g/mol) = 0.64 mol.

  • Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to react with the proposed amount of Fe:

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

4 mol of Fe is needed to react with → 3 mol of O₂, from stichiometry.

0.64 mol of Fe is needed to react with → ??? mol of O₂.

∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (3 mol)(0.64 mol)/(4 mol) = 0.48 mol.

  • Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the information:

<em>It is known that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at standard P and T (STP).</em>

<em></em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1 mol of O₂ occupies → 22.4 L, at STP conditions.

0.48 mol of O₂ occupies → ??? L.

∴ The no. of liters of O₂ = (0.48 mol)(22.4 L)/(1 mol) = 10.752 L.

For each of the following compounds, identify what type of bonding holds them together.
svet-max [94.6K]

Explanation

NaCl:  Ionic crystal lattice forces

Hg:   Metallic bonding

CO₂:  London dispersion forces

CH₄:  London dispersion forces

Li₂O:  Ionic crystal lattice forces

Ag:  Metallic bonds

Ionic crystal lattice forces are strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions arranged into a crystal lattice of ionic compound. NaCl and Li₂O are ionic compounds

London dispersion forces holds the molecules of carbon dioxide and methane. They are weak attractions found between non-polar (and polar) molecules.

Metallic bonds exists between Mercury and Gold atoms. This is due to sea of electrons present.
