Answer:

C . ns²np²

Explanation:

According to this configuration the outermost orbit has 2 electrons in p and 2 electrons in s . After first ionization from p orbital  involving energy E₁ , second ionisation from p  is possible with E₂ energy . E₂ will be greater than E₁ .

But after second ionisation , there is no electron in p orbital . Hence the third ionisation is possible when we extract electron from s orbital . The difference in the ionisation energy of s and p is quite large . Hence third ionisation will involve much greater energy .

Hence third ionisation energy will be much larger than the second ionisation energy or

E₃ >>> E₂ .

Hence option ( C ) is correct .

Using the reaction mixture in Problem 1, a student found that it took 230 seconds for the color of the I2 to disappear.
MakcuM [25]
The reaction mixture of problem 1 includes <span>10mL of 4.0 M acetone = 10 mL 1.0 M HCl = 10 mL 0.0050 M I2 = 20 mL H2O. if this is true then the procedure is the following:

In order to find the total volume of reaction then you need to do like this: 
</span><span>V = 10 mL + 10 mL + 10 mL + 20 mL = 50 mL </span>
<span>[I2]o = (0.005 mol I2 / 1 L I2 solution) (10 mL I2 solution) / 50 mL = 0.001 M </span>
<span>To first order, the reaction rate is 0.001 M / 230 s = 4,3 e-6 M/s 
Then if you want to find the rate yoe need to use the following formula:
</span><span> k [CO(CH3)2]^a [I2]^b [HCl]^c 
</span>So: <span>4,3 e-6 = k (4 M * 10 mL / 50 mL)^a (1e-3 M)^b (1 M * 10 mL / 50 mL)^c

Each energy level of an atom has a maximum number of ____ it can hold.
hodyreva [135]
D. electrons because each energy level can hold a set amount. The first can hold 2. also the outermost electrons is called the valence electrons.
