Answer :

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5   → Halogen

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2    → Transition metal

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6   → Transition metal

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1   → Transition metal

Explanation :

Inert gas : These are the gases which lie in group 18.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2np^6 where n is the outermost shell.

Halogen : These are the elements which lie in group 17.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2np^5 where n is the outermost shell.

An alkali metal : These are the elements which lie in group 1.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^1 where n is the outermost shell.

An alkaline earth metal : These are the elements which lie in group 2.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2 where n is the outermost shell.

Transition elements : They are the elements which lie between 's' and 'p' block elements. These are the elements which lie in group 3 to 12. The valence electrons of these elements enter d-orbital.

Their general electronic configuration is: (n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2} where n is the outermost shell.

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the halogen family.

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

Explain how the equation for GPE = force x distance.
Mkey [24]
GPE is the gravitational Potential Energy which is given by mgh.

mg is the gravitational force(a force) and h is the height of the object(or distance of the object from earth's surface)

SO GPE = mg (force) x h (distance)

Which statement describes an eletron
Vitek1552 [10]
An electron carries a negative power to the atom. in each atom, the amount of protons and electrons are usually evened out so the atom is stable. the electrons of an atom are also found on the outside ring of an atom, unlike protons and neutrons, which are inside the atom. glad to help! :)

Pleasseee help!! Got STUCK FOR A WHILE!! How does this equation help you to understand acids and bases: H+(aq) + OH-(aq)H2O(aq)?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Odd answer choices, but I would put "It shows you that water is a reversible reaction, which contains hydrogen and hydroxide reactions."

Explanation:

The first choice is weird, although water can be written as HOH that doesn't help you understand acids and bases.

The third choice doesn't do that either, and there are more ways for water to be formed than that.

The second choice helps you understand acids and bases, specifically, in water's self-ionization process. It also shows you that it is neutral because it is formed from Hydrogen, which is usually present in acids, and a Hydroxide group, which is usually present in bases.
