<h2>Giant impact and metalcore.</h2>
Explanation :
- Mercury has a large core of liquid metal.
- The metal core is of iron metal.
- The core is surrounded by a mantle which is made up of silica and a solid outer crust.
- In the case of Mercury, the total core percentage is 42% of the planet while the Earth's core is only 17% of the planet.
- Mercury has lost part of its mantle and crust that left the mercury with a large metal core.
The nails can puncture the tires of the vehicles making them deflated after a while. The process of tire deflation due to a puncture is due to the process called an effusion. Thus, option c is correct.
<h3>What is effusion?</h3>
Effusion is the process that defines the escape of the fluids or gases from a system through an outlet with a small diameter compared to the mean free path of the molecules.
When a tire is punctured then the gas from the tire starts to move out through the hole through effusion. This leads to deflation of the tire after some time as all the gas present inside had moved out completely.
Therefore, option c. a punctured tire deflates due to effusion.

The answer is b) the highest occupied orbital is a “d”orbital.
Transition metals are metals where the highest energy electrons partially fill the d subshells. There are some elements with complete d subshells but on forming cations they have incomplete d subshells.
These transition metals have some properties that are different from the other metals .
