Answer:

b) [Ar]4s²3d1¹

Explanation:

Chromium, Cr, is the atom with atomic number 24 (That is, 24 protons).

A Cr³⁺ contains 3 electrons less than number of protons. That is 21electrons.

The Argon, Ar, contains 18 electrons. That means the electronic configuration of Cr³⁺ contains 3 electrons more than Ar.

Following the Hund's rule, these three electrons will occupy the 4S orbital (2 electrons) and the 2d orbital (1 electron).

Thus, right solution is:

Mr Singh is cooking using wo pans of oiling water. Both pans are made of steel, but one pan has a much thicker base than the oth

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When either pan is heated, energy is transferred via conduction. Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles remaining the same.

When the pans are heated, the particles in each pan vibrate faster and transfer this energy rapidly to neighboring particles.

The pan with a thicker base has more particles in it than the pan with lighter weight base. Note that, The rate of heat transfer is inversely proportional to the thickness of the material in question. Hence, the thicker the base, the more the number of particles present and the longer the time it takes for the food to cook.

Predict, using Boyle’s Law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa (normal atmospheric

kaheart [24]

Explanation:

Balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 k Pa will get reduced in size that is the volume of the balloon will get reduced. This is because pressure and volume of the gas are inversely related to each other.

According to Boyle's law: The pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature(in Kelvins).

$pressure\propto \frac{1}{volume}$ (At constant temperature)

The pressure beneath the sea is 202 kPa and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa . This increase in pressure will result in decrease in volume occupied by the gas inside the balloon with decrease in size of a balloon. Hence, the size of the balloon will get reduced at 202 kPa (under sea).
