Answer:Cr3+ and V2+

Explanation:

Cd and Hg belong to group 12 which is sometimes referred to as post transition elements. They possess a filled d subshell (d10). Remember that the colour of transition elements is attributed to the presence of partially filled d orbitals leading to transition between the three degenerate lower energy t2g orbitals and two higher energy degenerate eg orbitals. If the element has a d10 configuration, such transition is impossible, hence its ions will be colourless.

Answer:

Cr3+ is green and V2+ is purple. Cr3+ and V2+ are both d3 so there can be a lot of movement between energy levels to produce colored light. Cd2+ and Hg2+ are both d10 (full d orbital, much less electron movement).

What factors affect freezing-point depression of a solution? (select all that apply)

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A and F i think

Explanation:

Freezing point depression is a colligative property observed in solutions that results from the introduction of solute molecules to a solvent. The freezing points of solutions are all lower than that of the pure solvent and is directly proportional to the molality of the solute

What are the atomic number and mass number of this atom

lina2011 [118]

No diagram is given therefore I cannot answer however, use this for reference.
The atomic mass of an atom would be the number of protons PLUS the number of neutrons. Because this atom shown has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, they add up to 12. In this case, the atomic mass of this atom is 12. Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, in this case it is 6. The atomic number is 6.
