The question is in complete, the complete question is:

Which element has an outer electron configuration of s 2 p4 ?

(A) Ca (B) Cr (C) Ge (D) Se

Answer:

(D) Se

Explanation:

The outer electronic configuration of an atom reflects the group to which it belongs in the periodic table. Each group has its unique outermost electron configuration and number of electrons found in the outermost shell of the atoms of elements in the group.

s 2 p4  is the unique outermost electron configuration of group 16 elements. Group 16 elements have six electrons in their outermost shell. If we consider the options, only Se is a member of group 16. Hence it is only Se that has the outermost electron configuration s 2 p4 .

What<br>your events made Gautam Buddha to<br>go in search of the truth?​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The Buddha (also known as Siddhartha Gotama or Siddhārtha Gautama[note 3] or Buddha Shakyamuni) was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India (c. 5th to 4th century BCE).[5][6][7][note 4] He is revered as the founder of the world religion of Buddhism, and worshipped by most Buddhist schools as the Enlightened One who has transcended Karma and escaped the cycle of birth and rebirth.[8][9][10] He taught for around 45 years and built a large following, both monastic and lay.[11] His teaching is based on his insight into duḥkha (typically translated as "suffering") and the end of dukkha – the state called Nibbāna or Nirvana.

The Buddha was born into an aristocratic family in the Shakya clan but eventually renounced lay life. According to Buddhist tradition, after several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the mechanism which keeps people trapped in the cycle of rebirth. The Buddha then traveled throughout the Ganges plain teaching and building a religious community. The Buddha taught a middle way between sensual indulgence and the severe asceticism found in the Indian śramaṇa movement.[12] He taught a spiritual path that included ethical training and meditative practices such as jhana and mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice.

A couple of centuries after his death he came to be known by the title Buddha, which means "Awakened One" or "Enlightened One".[13] Gautama's teachings were compiled by the Buddhist community in the Suttas, which contain his discourses, and the Vinaya, his codes for monastic practice. These were passed down in Middle-Indo Aryan dialects through an oral tradition.[14][15] Later generations composed additional texts, such as systematic treatises known as Abhidharma, biographies of the Buddha, collections of stories about the Buddha's past lives known as Jataka tales, and additional discourses, i.e, the Mahayana sutras.

Why was there so much disagreements among the ancient greeks about the nature of the atoms?
olga2289 [7]
It is because in that time science was not established. This is, the experimentation to test hypotheses, which is a fundamental part of the scientific method, was not applied.

Atoms can not be seen, then they could only reflect or philosophize on this matter. This method is not able to give good answers to so complicated scientific matters.

Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O? silicon dioxide silicon trioxygen disilicon dioxygen monosil
Flauer [41]

The correct is tricky, be careful. The right is silicon dioxyde (SiO2)

Silicon Oxides are written in the form SiOx, (0 <x <2), so:

there is no silicon trioxygen and disilicon dioxygen.

SiO is called silicon monoxide and not monosiicon oxygen, so this proposition is false.

All that remains is the silicon dioxide (SiO2) that is written correctly.

Silicon dioxide can be synthesized but also exists in abundance in nature. Silicon (Si) represents about 26% of the Earth's crust. Silica (SiO2), the natural form of silicon dioxide, accounts for about 60%.

Metallic copper is formed when aluminum reacts with copper(ii) sulfate. how many grams of metallic copper can be obtained when 5
exis [7]
Answer is: 127 grams <span>rams of metallic copper can be obtained.
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: 2Al + 3CuSO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3Cu.
m(Al) = 54.0 g.
n(Al) = m(Al) ÷ M(Al).
n(Al) = 54 g ÷ 27 g/mol.
n(Al) = 2 mol.
m(CuSO₄) = 319 g.
n(CuSO₄) = 319 g ÷ 159.6 g/mol.
n(CuSO₄) = 2 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(CuSO₄) : n(Cu) = 3 : 3 (1 : 1).
n(Cu) = 2 mol.
n(Cu) = 2 mol · 63.55 g/mol.
n(Cu) = 127.1 g.
