What describes the current model of the atom? A)That electrons and protons move randomly around a nucleus.

Sulfur is an element that can be seen on the periodic table. What will most likely occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with anot

Yakvenalex [24]

What is likely to occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with another element is sulfur will accept electrons

explanation

Ionic bond is formed when a metal react with a non metal.

Metal loses ( donate) electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion) , while non metal accept (gain) electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).

Sulfur is a non metal therefore it accept electrons if it form an ionic bond with a metal. sulfur accept 2 electrons to form S2- ion

Find the quantinum numbers n,m,l,s for the last of potassium layer pleasee help explain correctly all

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Quantum numbers of the outermost electron in potassium:

$n = 4$ .
$l = 1$ .
$m_l = 0$ .
Either $m_s = 1/2$ .

Explanation:

Refer to the electron configuration of a potassium atom. The outermost electron in a ground-state potassium atom is in the $4s$ orbital (fourth $s$ orbital.)

The quantum number $n$ (the principal quantum number) specifies the main energy shell of an electron. This electron is in the fourth main energy shell (as seen in the number four in the orbital.) Hence, $n = 4$ for this electron.

The quantum number $l$ (the angular momentum quantum number) specifies the shape ( $s$ , $p$ , $d$ , etc.) of an electron. $l = 1$ for $s\!$ orbitals (such as the one that contains this electron.

Quantum numbers $n$ and $l$ specify the shape of an orbital. On the other hand, the magnetic quantum number $m_l$ specifies the orientation of these orbitals in space.

However, $s$ orbitals are spherical. Regardless of the value of $n$ , the only possible $m_l$ value for electrons in $s\!$ orbitals is $m_l = 0$ .

The spin quantum number $m_s$ distinguishes between the two electrons in an orbital. The two possible values of $m_s \!$ are $(+1/2)$ and $(-1/2)$ . Typically, the first electron in an orbital is assigned an upward ( $\uparrow$ ) spin, which corresponds to $m_s = (+1/2)$ .

How many structures are possible for a square planar molecule with a formula of ax3y?

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Depending upon the relative arrangements of XandY X a n d Y , the square planar molecule AX3Y A X 3 Y shows only the following structure: Hence, only one structure is possible for a square planar molecule with a formula of AX3Y A X 3 Y .

How can I tell how many electrons in each energy level? When my question states "third sublevel" does this mean sublevel P?

nikitadnepr [17]

Sorry for the delay! My internet is a bit bad.
P is the third sublevel. Each sublevel (the angular momentum quantum number), has its own number:
s = 1, p =3, d = 5, f = 7
The number of electrons for each is:
s-2
p-6
d-10
f-14
It's easier to just memorize these numbers, but the equation for determining the sublevel number is 2n (n = the principal quantum number). The principal quantum number is based on the period the element is in.

Why there are only 20 amino acids, although a amino acid is coded by a single codon with three bases. That means by permutation,

snow_lady [41]

In nature there are many more variations amino acids than the simple 20 found in humans. However, when analyzing the human genome sequence, there is a code for all 64 permutations (4^3), only some of them share amino acids. This is a safe-guard against mutations of one or two nucleotides. For example, the amino acid Alanine is coded with four different nucleotide sequences: GCA, GCC, GCG, GCU. Also some amino acids code the same like UUU &UUC
