Explanation:

Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital and the energy level. It is represented by n. Where, n = 1,2,3,4....

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

s = 1 orbital

p = 3 orbitals

d = 5 orbitals

f = 7 orbitals

For n = 4

l = 0 to (n-1) = 0 to 3 = (4s , 4p , 4d , 4f)

Number of subshells = 4

Number of orbitals = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16

The maximum number of electrons the n = 4 shell can contain:

Each orbital can holds upto two electrons, then 16 orbitals will have :

$16\times 2=32$

32 is the maximum number of electrons the n = 4 shell can contain

Which of the following statements is true?

dybincka [34]

Answer:C

Explanation:

A process is called spontaneous if the process takes place on its own without the intervention of external factors.

The spontaneous processes are generally quick with observable rates of reaction.But processes can be spontaneous even with negligible rates of reaction.

Spontaneity of reactions depend on temperature.

This is because spontaneity is measured by gibbs energy or enthalpy.

Both of these measures are dependent on temperature.

So,temperature affects spontaneity.

What is meant by the term neutral in relation to atoms?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

it means positive and negative charges are equal.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

when a neutral atom loses a electron positive charge is created because number of protons are positive charge becomes greater than negative charge.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

When a neutral atom accept the electron negative charge is created because negative charge is become greater than positive charge.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Semmy [17]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

The octane number is determined by comparing the characteristics of gasoline to isooctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) and heptane. The correct option is option A.

Basically, the higher the octane number, the greater the resistance of the gasoline to knocking.
