Answer : The correct option is, Ar

Explanation :

(1) The element is, Na^+

Atomic number of Na = 11

The general electronic configuration of Na is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^1

The electronic configuration of Na^+ is, 1s^22s^22p^6

The number of electrons in Na^+ = 10

(2) The element is, Mg^{2+}

Atomic number of Mg = 12

The general electronic configuration of Mg is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

The electronic configuration of Mg^{2+} is, 1s^22s^22p^6

The number of electrons in Mg^{2+} = 10

(3) The element is, F^-

Atomic number of F = 9

The general electronic configuration of F is, 1s^22s^22p^5

The electronic configuration of F^- is, 1s^22s^22p^6

The number of electrons in F^- = 10

(4) The element is, Ar

Atomic number of Ar = 18

The general electronic configuration of Ar is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

The number of electrons in Ar = 18

(5) The element is, O^{2-}

Atomic number of O = 8

The general electronic configuration of O is, 1s^22s^22p^4

The electronic configuration of O^{2-} is, 1s^22s^22p^6

The number of electrons in O^{2-} = 10

From this we conclude that, the option 1, 2, 3 and 5 have the same number of electrons as the neutral atom of neon. While in 'Ar' there are 18 number of electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, Ar

How many moles are there in 990 grams of sugar, C12H22011? (Sig Figs, do not
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 2.89 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of sugar  = ?

Mass of sugar = 990 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁:

12× 12 + 22×1.008 + 16×11 = 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 990 g / 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.89 mol
