Electronic configuration: The distribution or arrangement of electrons of a molecule or an atom in molecular or atomic orbitals.

Ground state electron configuration: The distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule around the nucleus with lower levels of energy.

Now, Ru stands for Ruthenium with atomic number 44. It is a metal and thus, has ability to lose electrons and, becomes positively charged ion.

One can write the electronic configuration with the help of atomic number and Afbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle etc.

Ground electronic Configuration is as follows:

Ru = s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}4s^{2}3d^{10}4p^{6}5s^{1}4d^{7}

Soft Hand notation: [Kr]4d^{7}5s^{1}

Now, when ruthenium loses two electrons then it becomes Ru^{+2}, thus electron configuration becomes

Soft Hand notation: [Kr]4d^{6}

The ground state electronic configuration of Ruthenium is [Kr]4d^{7}5s^{1} and when it loses two electrons, then electronic configuration becomes [Kr]4d^{6} ( Ru^{+2})

How does the number of subatomic particles change as the carbon isotope<br> decays?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

C decays by a process called beta decay. During this process, an atom of 14C decays into an atom of 14N, during which one of the neutrons in the carbon atom becomes a proton. This increases the number of protons in the atom by one, creating a nitrogen atom rather than a carbon atom.

Calculate the energy (in kJ) required to heat 10.1 g of liquid water from 55 oC to 100 oC and change it to steam at 100 oC. The
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

           \large\boxed{\large\boxed{24.6kJ}}

Explanation:

<u>1. Energy to heat the liquid water from 55ºC to 100ºC</u>

     Q=m\times C\times \Delta T

  • m = 10.1g
  • C = 4.18g/JºC
  • ΔT = 100ºC - 55ºC = 45ºC

     Q=10.1g\times 4.18J/g\ºC\times 45\ºC=1,899.81J

<u>2. Energy to change the liquid to steam at 100ºC</u>

      L=\lambda \times n

  • λ = 40.6kJ/mol
  • n = 10.1g / 18.015g/mol = 0.5606mol

      L=40.6kJ/mol\times 0.5604mol=22.76214kJ=22,762.14J

<u>3. Total energy</u>

       1,899.81J+22,762.14J=24,661.95J\approx24,662J\approx24.6kJ

Which organism would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring?
Arada [10]

The organism that would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring is the cat (Option C). Meiosis is a type of cell division that generates more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction.

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells (gametes), each containing half of the genetic material.

Animals (e.g., cats) generate gametes by meiosis which fuse during fertilization to produce new offspring.

Both amoeba and bacteria reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called binary fission. Moreover, yeasts also reproduce asexually by a process called budding and fission.

Both asexual and sexual types of reproduction generate genetic variability by the emergence of new mutations in daughter cells.

Meiosis generates much more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction due to two different processes:

  • Random assortment of chromosomes, which produces new allele combinations.

  • Recombination, i.e., by the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.
