Answers:

(a) 1s² 2s²2p³; (b) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²; (c) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this problem is to add electrons to the orbitals one-by-one until you have added the required amount.

Fill the subshells in the order listed in the diagram below. Remember that an s subshell can hold two electrons, while a p subshell can hold six, and a d subshell can hold  ten.

(a) <em>Seven electrons </em>

1s² 2s²2p³

There are two electrons in the 2s subshell and three in the 2p subshell. The remaining two electrons are in the inner 1s subshell.

(b) <em>22 electrons </em>

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²

There are two electrons in the 4s subshell and two in the 2p subshell. The remaining 18 electrons are in the inner subshells.

(c) <em>17 electrons</em>

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵

There are two electrons in the 3s subshell and five in the 2p subshell. The remaining 10 electrons are in the inner subshells.

Will you obtain a pure solid in evaporation technique? Justify your answer
aniked [119]

Evaporation technique is used to separate a compound dissolved in a solvent by vaporizing the solvent and converting it to gaseous state. This leaves behind the solid residue present in the solution after the pure solvent is vaporized. The solvent vapors can be collected and condensed to get pure solvent. But the solid residue cannot be considered pure as it is the left over solid after all the solvent is evaporated. If the solution has some impurities, the solid left over includes all of the impurities. So, we cannot obtain a pure solid in evaporation technique.
