Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that the ground state electronic configuration of silicon is
.
And, we know that when an atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge.
As
has a +4 charge which means that it has lost 4 electrons. Hence, the electronic configuration of
is
.
According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.
As 2p orbital is filled after the filling of 2s orbital.
Therefore, we can conclude that 2p orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the
ground-state ion.
The flow of electricity is an electric current. The path that an electric currents floes is a circuit.
The answer is "c" because solidification or freezing is the term used for the process in which a liquid becomes a solid.<span> Freezing is an exothermic process that also is an example of a phase transition</span>
The answer is: supersaturated solution.
A supersaturated solution contains more of the dissolved substance than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances.
A way to dissolve more sugar into a solution is heating a solution.
The more heat is added to a system, the more soluble a substance (in this example sugar) becomes.
The solution will become supersaturated if this solution is suddenly cooled at a rate faster than the rate of precipitation.
