Cobalt is a Transition Element and it has a partially filled d-orbital. As given it has atomic number 27. In neutral state Cobalt has 27 electrons. These electrons are filled in following order,
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁷
Or it can also be written as,
[Ar] 4s², 3d⁷
Where; [Ar] is Argon with electronic configuration 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶.
Answer:
None of the above
Explanation:
The (−OH) group on phenol can form hydrogen bonds, and the −CH3 group on toluene cannot.
Phenol has only one hydrogen on the −OH group available to form hydrogen bonds, so the hydrogen bond is stronger. In toluene, the hydrogen bond is spread over all three hydrogens on the methyl group, so the interaction is weaker overall.
Phenol has a higher molecular mass than toluene.
