Answer:

2) The outer electron of atom B has moved to a lower energy state.

Explanation:

Properly writing the sublevel notations:

        Atom A = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

         Atom B = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 5s¹

Solution:

According to the Aufbau's principle, "the sublevels with the lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".

The pattern of filling is shown below:

      1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5d, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, etc.

The configuration of atom A having a total of 11 electrons follows the Aufbau's rule as we can see.

For atom B, we see a higher energy level which is the 5s coming into the lower energy orbitals. Therefore, the outer electrons of atom B has moved to a lower energy state.

Can some atoms exceed the limits of the octet rule in bonding? If so, give an example.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.

However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.

Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>

In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.

<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>

Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>

<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>

An unknown triprotic acid (H3A) is titrated with NaOH. After the titration Ka1 is determined to be 0.0013 and Ka2 is determined
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

6.68 X 10^-11

Explanation:

From the second Ka, you can calculate pKa = -log (Ka2) = 6.187

The pH at the second equivalence point (8.181) will be the average of pKa2  and pKa3. So,

8.181 = (6.187 + pKa3) / 2

Solving gives pKa3 = 10.175, and Ka3 = 10^-pKa3 = 6.68 X 10^-11

How much heat is absorbed/released when 25.00 g of NH3(g) reacts in the presence of excess O2(g) to produce NO(g) and H2O(l) acc
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

429.4 kJ are absorbed in the endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation tells us that 1168 kJ of heat are absorbed in the reaction when 4 mol of NH₃ (g) react with 5 mol O₂ (g).

So what we need is to calculates how many moles represent 25 g NH₃(g) and calculate the heat absorbed. (NH₃ is the limiting reagent)

Molar Mass NH₃  = 17.03 g/mol

mol NH₃ = 25.00 g/ 17.03 g/mol = 1.47 mol

1168 kJ /4 mol NH₃  x 1.47 mol  NH₃ =  429.4 kJ
