Answer:

Argon

Explanation:

The arrangement of electrons in an atom is governed by the Aufbau principle according to which electrons are added to atomic orbitals such that the lowest energy orbitals get occupied first before the higher energy orbitals. The arrangement of energy levels in increasing energy order is:

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p......

's' , 'p', 'd' orbitals can accommodate a maximum of 2,6 and 10 electrons respectively.

From the given information:

First energy level corresponds to n = 1, and is fully filled i.e. 1s²

Second energy level corresponds to n = 2, and is fully filled i.e. 2s²2p⁶

Third energy level corresponds to n = 3 and it has 8 electrons i.e. 3s²3p⁶

The neutral atom has a total of 18 electrons with an electronic configuration of:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶

Based on the periodic table the atom is with atomic number = 18 is argon (Ar)

iragen [17]

The first blank can be filled with the Heliocentric model, and the second blank can be filled with Copernicus.  

The heliocentric model known as heliocentrism was proposed by the Renaissance astronomer, mathematician, and the Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus resulting in the Copernican revolution.  

It is the astronomical model, in which the planets and the Earth revolve around the Sun positioned at the middle of the Solar system. Factually, the heliocentric model was in contrast to geocentrism, in which Earth is positioned at the center of the Solar system.

When salt is added to water, the entropy, S,
Dovator [93]

Answer:

C. number of particles

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of disorderliness of a system. Remember that when you dissolve salt in water, you increase the number of particles in the solution. The greater the number of particles in solution, the greater the entropy of the  solution system.

Hence dissolution of a salt in water increases the entropy by increasing the number of particles in solution leading to the inequality; Ssolution > Swater + Ssalt.
