Answer:

1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵

Explanation:

1) Ca:

Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.

Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.

So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.

Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.

Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².

2) Pm

The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.

Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.

The atomic number of Xe is 54.

Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.

The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.

What is the empirical formula of an oxide of nitrogen containing 63.61% by mass of nitrogen and 36.69% by mass of oxygen?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

D. N₂O

Explanation:

Let's assume we have 100 g of the compound.  That means it consists of 63.61 grams of nitrogen and 36.69 grams of oxygen.

Converting masses to moles:

63.61 g N × (1 mol N / 14.01 g N) = 4.540 mol N

36.69 g O × (1 mol O / 16.00 g O) = 2.293 mol O

Normalize by dividing by the smallest:

4.540 / 2.293 = 1.980 mol N

2.293 / 2.293 = 1.000 mol O

So there is approximately twice as many N atoms as O atoms.  The empirical formula is therefore N₂O.

Which kind of atoms would typically form an ionic bond?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between at

Identify the element: 6 energy level, metallic, 82 election
Lady bird [3.3K]

<u>Answer</u>:-

Name of element = Lead

Symbol ♾ of Lead = Pb

Atomic no. = 82

Atomic mass = 207.2 amu

No. of protons = 82

No. of electrons = 82

Yes, lead(Pb) is a metallic element and certainly it has 6 electron shells which means 6 energy level.

If you find anything unclear you can ask me...
