Why do electrons enter the 4s orbital before entering the 3D orbital

1 answer:

8 0

The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel. (:

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The statement "The total mass of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide will result in the same total mass of sodium chloride and water." is true due to the Law of Conservation of Mass which states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when excess hydroiodic acid and nickel(II) sulfide are combined.

tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced "molecular" equation:

$2HI(aq) + NIS (s) → NiI₂(aq) + H₂S(g)$

Step 2: H₂S is written in molecular form. Consult the solubility and net ionic equation rules on the information page to determine which of the other substances will dissociate:

$2HI(aq) + NIS (s) → NiI₂(aq) + H₂S(g)$

yes no yes

Step 3: Dissociate all soluble salts, strong acids, and strong bases (except calcium hydroxide). Leave together all "not soluble" salts and weak acids or bases:

${2H₃O}^{ + } (aq) + {2I}^{ - } (aq) + NiS(s)→ { Ni}^{2 + }(aq) + {2I}^{ - }(aq) + H₂S(g) + 2H₂O(l)$

Step 4: Cross out "spectator ions" that appear on both sides of the reaction (these ions do not participate in the chemistry) and rewrite the "net" reaction using the smallest possible coefficients:

${2H₃O}^{ + } (aq) + NiS(s) → { Ni}^{2 + } (aq) + H₂S(g) + 2H₂O(l)$
