What is the ground state electron configuration for Ru2+?

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})

The correct answer to this question is "[Kr]4d^6." 

the ground state electron configuration for Ru2+ is <span>"[Kr]4d^6." 
</span>
As you know, the ground state electron configuration for <span>R<span>u2+</span></span> is Ru. However, Ru is a special case; its electron configuration is <span>[Kr]4d75s1</span>.

Calculate the standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol at its boiling point 285 K. The standard molar enthalpy of vaporizatio
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol = 142.105 J/K-mol

Explanation:

given data

enthalpy of vaporization of ethanol = 40.5 kJ/mol = 40.5 × 10^{3} J/mol

entropy of vaporization of ethanol boiling point = 285 K

to find out

standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol

solution

we get here standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol that is expess as

standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol ΔS = \frac{\Delta H}{T} .............1

here ΔH is enthalpy of vaporization of ethanol and  T is temperature

put value in equation 1

standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol ΔS =  \frac{40.5*10^3}{285}

standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol = 142.105 J/K-mol

Draw a mechanism for the reaction of methylamine with 2-methylpropanoic acid. Draw any necessary curved arrows. Show the product
Nitella [24]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

On this case we have a <u>base</u> (methylamine) and an <u>acid</u> (2-methyl propanoic acid). When we have an acid and a base an <u>acid-base reaction </u>will take place, on this specific case we will produce an <u>ammonium carboxylate salt.</u>

Now the question is: <u>¿These compounds can react by a nucleophile acyl substitution reaction?</u> in other words <u>¿These compounds can produce an amide? </u>

Due to the nature of the compounds (base and acid), <u>the nucleophile</u> (methylamine) <u>doesn't have the ability to attack the carbon</u> of the carbonyl group due to his basicity. The methylamine will react with the acid-<u>producing a positive charge</u> on the nitrogen and with this charge, the methylamine <u>loses all his nucleophilicity.</u>

I hope it helps!

Solvent is more than a solute. Like salt water. Water is the solvent and salt will be the solute
