where 1s, 2s, and 2p are the occupied subshells, and the superscript "2" is the number of electrons in each of these subshells.

Use the rules for determining electron configurations to write the electron configuration for Ca. Express your answer in complete form in order of orbital filling. For example, 1s22s2 should be entered as 1s^22s^2.

Answer: 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies where orbital with higher value of (n+l) has higher energy as compared to orbital having lower (n+l) value. Thus the electronic configuration for calcium with atomic number of 20 and hence containing 20 electrons is :

Ca:20:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

What is the symbol of potassium chlorite
tino4ka555 [31]
Chlorite is ClO2^-1, and potassium is K with a charge of +1. So, we would write is as KClO2, since the charges cancel out with each other.

At present, fusion reactions... Group of answer choices produce the energy in some nuclear power plants. cannot be used to produ
Triss [41]

Answer:

cannot be used to produce energy in reactors.  

Explanation:

Currently, there is no reactor that can allow the use of nuclear fusion, although nuclear plants use nuclear fission reactors.

Nuclear fusion happens when thousands of atoms collide with each other when they are in the midst of extreme conditions of literature and pressure. This collision causes the atoms to fuse, creating another element. The process releases amounts of light and heat, promoting a high release of energy. This whole process occurs without the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, without the release of toxic waste and without the risk of explosions, which makes nuclear plants have a strong interest in building a reactor to use this type of energy. For this reason, scientists from different countries have collaborated with each other on a project called Iter, which seeks to build a reactor and achieve the first reaction in 2025.

Why does the density of gas in a hot air balloon decrease as the gas is heated? A. The mass of gas increases as temperature incr
Morgarella [4.7K]
The answer is D. When heated, there is only physical process not chemical process. So the mass of the gas will not change. When heated, according to the thermal expansion, the volume will increase. And the mass is constant, so the density will decrease. Density=Mass/Volume.
