<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.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Anna stated that ionic compounds have high melting point and low boiling point. The error in the statement is that ionic compound have low boiling point, instead ionic compounds have high boiling point, because in an ionic compound, the force of attraction working between two ions is very strong and hence the bonds present are very strong, and a lot of energy is needed to break them

When an object is lifted 6 meters off the ground, it gains a certain amount of potential energy. If the same object is lifted 18
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter C. three times as much

Explanation:

Data

First step = 6 m

Second step = 18 m

Potential energy is the energy stored that depends on its position.

Formula

Pe = mgh

m = mass; g = gravity; h = height

Potential energy of the first step

        Pe1 = 6mg

Potential energy of the second step

        Pe2 = 18mg

-Divide the Pe2 by the Pe1

        Pe2/Pe1 = 18mg/6mg

                       = 3

In the redox fueling reaction, succinate + nad ↔ fumarate + nadph, the succinate molecule is undergoing which process?
GarryVolchara [31]

The answer is oxidation.

That is in the redox fueling reaction,  

succinate + NAD ↔fumarate + NADPH, the succinate molecule is undergoing oxidation.

As succinate molecule is providing electrons to NAD, so that it can be reduced from NAD to NADPH. So it is losing electrons and undergoing oxidation.

So the answer is oxidation.
