This problem is describing the state two gases have when separated and together as shown on the attached picture. First of all, diagram 1 shows how they are separated in two containers with apparently equal volumes, whereas diagram 2 shows the removal of the barrier so that they get mixed together.
In this case, we can analyze that each gas has its own pressure and due to the removal of the barrier, both pressure and volume undergo a change. Thus, we can infer that the final volume is doubled with respected to the initial one for each gas, causing the pressure of each gas to be halved and the total pressure the half of the added ones, in agreement to the Boyle's law (inversely proportional relationship between pressure and temperature).
Therefore, the correct choice is:
C. The partial pressure of each gas in the mixture is half its initial pressure; the final total pressure is half the sum of the initial pressures of the two gases.

An increase in temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules. As the particles move faster, they will likely hit the edge of the container more often.
Explanation:
Scandium has atomic number of 21. This means that in it's neutral state its going to have 21 electrons.
a) The full electronic configuration is given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2
The final electron is placed in the d orbital. The shell is 3d
(b) When scandium has a charge if +1, it has lost an electron. The total number of electrons would now be 21-1 = 20
The electronic configuration would be given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
The electron in the 3d orbital would be removed.
The mass of electrons, protons, and neutrons:
electrons 9.10938291*10^-31 kg
protons 1.67262178*10^-27 kg
neutrons 1.6749*10^-27 kg
the mass of electrons is way smaller than both, the mass of protons and neutrons
therefore, 1) the mass of 2 electrons is the smallest
