Answer:

Electronic Configuration of calcium ion: Ca²⁺

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶

Explanation:

Calcium belong to group IIA and known as alkaline earth metals.

  • it have two electrons in outer most orbital.
  • these outer two electrons are involve in bonding
  • calcium lose these two electron and form cation
  • cation have 2+ charge
  • calcium have total twenty electrons

Electronic Configuration of calcium atom: ²⁰Ca

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s²

When calcium ion is form it loses two electron and have 2+ charge on it.

and have total of 18 electrons

So,

Electronic Configuration of calcium ion: Ca²⁺

the last filled orbital will be 3p⁶

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶

Which of the following two combinations of reactants is more appropriate for the preparation of p-nitrophenyl phenyl ether? Fluo
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

p-fluoronitrobenzene and sodium phenoxide is more appropriate

Explanation:

An ipso substitution is required to form p-nitrophenyl phenyl ether.

For this ipso substitution, an alkoxide anion needs to attack as a nucleophile at the carbon atom attached to fluorine atom and thereby substitute that F atom.

p-nitrophenoxide is an weak nucleophile as compared to phenoxide due to presence of electron withdrawing resonating effect of nitro group at para position.

p-fluoronitrobenzene is a good choice for nucleophilic attack by alkoxide anion as compared to fluorobenzene due to higher positive charge density at carbon atom directly attached to F atom. Higher positive charge density arises due to presence of electron withdrawing resonating effect og nitro group at para position.

So, p-fluoronitrobenzene and sodium phenoxide is more appropriate

What percentage of the total incoming radiation to the Earth reaches the ground? 20 30 40 70
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: 22.5 percent of incoming solar radiation goes directly to the surface of the Earth and is absorbed.

Explanation: Transfer of radiation through a planet's atmosphere. A planet and its atmosphere, in our solar system, can radiate back to space only as much energy as it absorbs from incoming solar radiation.

16. Metals have a structure containing delocalised electrons, meaning they can conduct electricity as they allow movement of charged particles.    17. groups of elements (columns) react in the same way, but depending on whether they group tends to lose or gain electrons the reactivity can increase or decrease when going down the group (column)     18. O2 is non polar as there is no difference in electronegativity between two oxygen atoms (they are the same). CO2 is non polar, it has polar bonds (O is more electronegative than C) but as it is symmetrical there is no polarity in the molecule.     19. Water is polar as the lone pairs on the O repel the delta + H groups so that the HOH angle is around 109deg, so water molecules create polar interactions which each other. These polar interactions require energy to break, so water has a higher boiling point than other small molecules which don't have these interactions.      20. The metal used is tough, and the horseshoe is usually heated meaning the metal will act slightly more viscous (closer to liquid). This means it can be moulded better, and then when its cooled it will become stronger and more brittle.       21. Well N2 + H2 --> NH3, by the haber process, so nitrogen:hydrogen ratio is 1:3. But what they want you to say is that nitrogen has 5 electrons and hydrogen has 1 and you're aiming for eight so you need N (5) + 3 Hs (3*1=3) to make NH3 (8 electrons around N)       22. Na and H, as this reduces the valence shell number and therefore reduces the energy state of the atom       23. Ar, its very stable as its octet is filled, meaning to fill or empty its octet it would have to lose or gain 8 electrons which is extremely hard        24. Oxygen, as it would accept the electrons donated by the 2 Na atoms, and fill its octet while emptying both the Na's     25. N2 and O2 are both covalently bonded, Oxygen forms a double bond to itself like this O=O and nitrogen forms a triple bond to itself like this N<span>≡N </span><span>Hope that helps :) and make sure you learn this, it'll come back and bite you when you need it for a test</span>
