Answer:

The correct option is: e) n=4, l=3, $m_{l}$ = - 2 , $m_{s}$ = - 1/2

Explanation:

The four quantum numbers that describe the electrons in an atom are: The principal: n, azimuthal: l, magnetic: m, and spin: s.

For a given electron, the values of the quantum numbers should be in the given range- principal quantum number: n ≥ 1;

azimuthal quantum number: 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1;

magnetic quantum number: −l ≤ $m_{l}$ ≤ +l;

spin quantum number: −s ≤ $m_{s}$ ≤ +s

Now, for n= 4,

The value of l: 0 to n − 1 = 0 to 3 = 0, 1, 2, 3

The value of $m_{l}$ for l= 3 : -3 to +3 = -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3

The value of $m_{s}$ : -1/2, +1/2

Therefore, the given set of quantum numbers: n=4, l=3, $m_{l}$ = - 2 , $m_{s}$ = - 1/2; are possible and permissible for an electron in an atom.

Balance the following chemical equation, then answer the following question.

julsineya [31]

Molar mass:

O2 = 31.99 g/mol
C8H18 = 144.22 g/mol

2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) = 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g)

2 x 144.22 g --------------- 25 x 31.99 g
10.0 g ----------------------?? ( mass of O2)

10.0 x 25 x 31.99 / 2 x 144.22 =

7997.5 / 288.44 => 27.72 g of O2

hope this helps!

A solution with a ph of 4 has _________ the concentration of h+ present compared to a solution with a ph of 5.

Marina CMI [18]

A solution with a pH of 4 has ten times the concentration of H⁺ present compared to a solution with a pH of 5.
pH is a numeric scale for the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions.
[H⁺] = 10∧-pH.
pH = 4 → [H⁺]₁ = 10⁻⁴ M = 0,0001 M.
pH = 5 → [H⁺]₂ = 10⁻⁵ M = 0,00001 M.
[H⁺]₁ / [H⁺]₂ = 0,0001 M / 0,00001 M.
[H⁺]₁ / [H⁺]₂ = 10.

When a variable is determined by a factor outside of the function or model being evaluated, it is said to be A. statistically i

inna [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. exogenous

Explanation:

Let us try to describe exogenous and endogenous variables an exogenous variable value is influenced only by factors outside a model or system and is forced onto the model, while a change in an exogenous variable is known as an exogenous change. Also an endogenous variable is one whose value is influenced only by the system or model under study.

How many moles is 2.55 x 10 to the power of 26 atoms of Neon?

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

424 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Number of atoms of Neon: 2.55 × 10²⁶ atoms

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles corresponding to 2.55 × 10²⁶ atoms of Neon

In order to convert atoms into moles, we need a conversion factor, which is Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of Neon in 1 mole of atoms of Neon.

2.55 × 10²⁶ atoms × (1 mol/6.02 × 10²³ atoms) = 424 mol

The electron cloud model describes which of the following?

HACTEHA [7]

1) The trails left by an electron as it moves around the nucleus
The electron model dictates that the electrons have no fixed position so it traces their path.
2) 8
Atomic number is equivalent to proton number
3) Its mass is lowered, but it is still the same element.
The element's identity is due to the number of protons; however, neutrons play a large role in an atom's mass. Thus, the mass will decrease but the element will be the same. Such variants are called isotopes.
