<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of the atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

  • <u>Option A:</u>

Phosphorus is the 15th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

Number of valence electrons = 2 + 3 = 5

The '3s' orbital is fully filled and all the three '3p' orbitals are half filled for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option B:</u>

Aluminium is the 13th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^1

Number of valence electrons = 2 + 1 = 3

The '3s' orbital is fully filled and one of all the three '3p' orbitals is half filled and rest are empty for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option C:</u>

Calcium is the 20th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Number of valence electrons = 2

The '4s' orbital is fully filled and all the three '4p' orbitals are half filled for the given element. '4s' sub-shell has only one orbital.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option D:</u>

Sodium is the 11th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^1

Number of valence electrons = 1

The '3s' orbital is half filled and all the three '3p' orbitals are half filled for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

<span>What are some examples of monomers and oligomers?
</span>Organic molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, are made of simple subunits called monomers. <span>Plasticizers are </span>oligomeric esters widely used to soften thermoplastics such as PVC and <span>urethane acrylate </span>.

</span><span>If a chemical compound accelerates and regulates metabolic reactions, which type of role does it play - structural or physiological? 
</span>I believe the function that it plays would be physiological since it focuses more on the regulation of the reactions inside the body.

What is acceleration deus to gravity​
kap26 [50]

The acceleration due to gravity, denoted by the symbol g, is the acceleration of a body caused by the force acting on the body due to the earth's gravitational field. This force can be written as mg, where m is the mass of the body.

For the galvanic (voltaic) cell Fe(s) + Mn2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Mn(s) (E°= 0.77 V at 25°C), what is [Fe2+] if [Mn2+] = 0.040 M and
avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.01836 M

Explanation:

Again the reaction equation is;

Fe(s) + Mn2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Mn(s)

E°cell= 0.77 V

Ecell= 0.78 V

[Mn2+] = 0.040 M

[Fe2+] = the unknown

n=2

From Nernst's equation;

Ecell= E°cell- 0.0592/n log Q

0.78= 0.77 - 0.0592/2 log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.78-0.77= - 0.0592/2 log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.01/ -0.0296= log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

-0.3378= log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

Antilog(-0.3378) = [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.459= [Fe2+] /[0.040]

[Fe2+] = 0.459 × 0.040

[Fe2+] = 0.01836 M
