Why do electrons enter the 4s orbital before entering the 3d orbital?

Chemistry

<span>because  the 4s orbitals have a lower energy than the 3d, and so the 4s orbitals are filled first.</span>

Can you guys help me answer question 5 on homogeneous mixture tysm
hjlf

Answer:

Hope this helped :) good luck! ❤️

Explanation:

A <em>coolant solution</em> is a <u><em>homogeneous </em></u>mixture because the coolant particles are not chemically combined with the water (keep their properties) and they are evenly distributed throughout the water.

In a reaction, chlorine accepts an electron to form Cl-. What is true about the atomic size of the chlorine ion?
Lynna [10]

Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.

Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.

Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.

Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.

6. An environmental chemist needs a carbonate buffer of pH 10.00 to study the effects of acid rain on limestone-rich soils. To p
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

[Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

It is possible to find pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is concentration of conjugate base,  [CO₃²⁻] = [Na₂CO₃] and  [HA] is concentration of weak acid, [NaHCO₃] = 0.20M.

pH is desire pH and pKa (<em>10.00</em>) is -log pka = -log 4.7x10⁻¹¹ = <em>10.33</em>

<em />

Replacing these values:

10.00 = 10.33 + log₁₀ [Na₂CO₃] / [0.20]

<em> [Na₂CO₃] = 0.094M</em>

<em />
