Gallum: Z = 31
electron configuration: [Ar] 4s^2 3d10 4s2 4p1
Highest energy electron: 4p1
Quantum numbers:
n = 4, because it is the shell number
l = 1, it corresponds to type p orbital
ml = may be -1, or 0, or +1, depending on space orientation, they correspond to px, py, pz
ms = may be -1/2 or +1/2, this is the spin number.
Selenium falls in the same column with oxygen therefore it has the same number of valence electrons with oxygen which is 6. It fills the 3d orbital but only 4s and 4p are counted. The electronic configuration is [Ar]3d^10 4s^2.
Answer:
Explanation:
Reaction given
6 H⁺ + 2 MnO₄⁻ + 5 (COOH)₂ = 10CO₂ +8H₂O + 2 Mn⁺²
Oxidation number of Mn in MnO₄⁻
= x - 4 x 2 = -1
x = 8 -1
+ 7
Oxidation no of Mn in Mn⁺² = +2
So its oxidation no is decreased from + 7 to + 2 . Hence it is reduced.
Answer:
The mass of the substance
