<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.

The ph of a solution containing 0.818 M acetic acid<br> (ka1.76*10-5) ans 0.172 M sodium acetate is?
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

It is known that the relation between pH and pK_{a} is as follows.

              pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

and,     pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

Hence, first we will calculate the value of pK_{a} as follows.

                   pK_{a} = -log K_{a}

                               = -log (1.76 \times 10^{-5}

                               = 4.75

Now, we will calculate the value of pH as follows.

              pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[\text{sodium acetate}]}{\text{acetic acid}}

                    = 4.75 + log \frac{0.172}{0.818}      

                    = 4.75 + (-0.677)

                    = 4.07

Therefore, we can conclude that the pH of given solution is 4.07.
