Answer:

In crystal structure close packing is define as space efficient arrangement of constituent particles to form a crystal lattice.

Explanation:

closest packing

In crystal structure close packing is define as space efficient arrangement of constituent particles to form a crystal lattice.

Difference between hexagonal closest packing and cubic closest packing

In cubic closest packing arrangement, each sphere is surrounded by 12 other spheres on the other hand in case of hexagonal close packing, layers of spheres are packed so that spheres in alternating layers overlie one another.

unit cell for each closest packing arrangement

The hexagonal closest packed arrangement has a coordination number of 12 and it consists of 6 atoms per unit cell. The face centered cubic lattice has a coordination number of 12 and it consists of 4 atoms per unit cell. In case of body centered cubic crystal the coordination number is 8 and it consists of 2 atoms per unit cell.

Explain the general process of nuclear fission. What is created from fission?
aliya0001 [1]
In nuclear fission heavier elements are split to make lighter elements whilst releasing energy. An atom, its nucleus to be more specific, is bombarded with neutrons. The nucleus becomes unstable and it starts to split/decay. It creates the fusion products. Neutrons and lighter elements are released; the neutrons from the nuclei of the atom(s) being split.

Which of the following electron configurations gives the correct arrangement of the four valence electrons of the carbon atom in
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

D) 2s^12p^3

Explanation:

Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^2

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

But in methane, CH_4 it forms 4 bonds. So, 1 electron each from 2s orbital jumps to the next orbital in the p subshell.

Thus, the configuration is:-

1s^22s^22p^2

Thus, the valence electron configuration is:-

2s^12p^3
