<h2>Answer:</h2>

Iron have unpaired 3d electrons.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

It can be explained by observing electronic configuration of the given elements.

  1. Zn-  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s².
  2. Fe-  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s².
  3. Ca-  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s².
  4. Ge-  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p².

Where, Zn is zinc,

            Fe is iron,

            Ca is calcium and

            Ge is germanium.

  • 3d orbital have 5 sub shells which means it can carry 10 electrons.
  • On observing electronic configuration of Zn, 3d orbital have 10 electrons and hence it is completely filled and no unpaired electrons in 3d orbital.
  • On observing electronic configuration of Fe, 3d orbital have 6 electrons and hence have unpaired electrons (as five electrons will fill five sub shell of d orbital and the 6th electron will enter in first sub shell and get paired and the other 4 sub shell will have only one electron and hence will be unpaired).
  • On observing electronic configuration of Ca it does not have 3d orbital and hence it is out of the case.
  • On observing electronic configuration of Ge 3d orbital is completely filled with 10 electrons and hence is completely paired.

Result: Fe have unpaired 3d electrons.

consider a 1000-ml graduated cylinder with marks every 100 ml. a student records the volume of liquid in the cylinder as 750 ml.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

The 1000-ml graduated cylinder with marks every 100 ml has least count of 100 ml . It means it can not measure a volume less than 100 ml . It can also measure volume in the integral multiple of 100 ml like 200 ml , 300 ml , 400 ml etc perfectly .  All these have significant figure of one .

It can not measure volume like 150 , 250 , 255 , 760 etc because these measurements are not the integral multiple of 100 . 750 is not a integral multiple of 100 so it can not measure volume of 750 ml.

Benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol can be distinguished by NMR. The proton on the aldehyde group will appear at approximately _____
Tanya [424]

Answer:

9-10 ppm.

0.2-0.4 ppm.

Explanation:

The proton on the aldehyde group will appear at approximately 9-10 ppm whereas the methylene peak on the alcohol is the only peak 0.2-0.4 ppm for either compound. Aldehydes and aromatics are quite distinctive in the Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Aldehydes show up from 9-10 ppm, usually as a small singlet; aromatic protons show up from 6.5-8.5 ppm. NMR spectroscopy is the use of NMR to study the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter.

Draw a hemiacetal, an acetal, and an imine that can be formed from propanal (C3H6O). Circle those that form in basic solution an
Paul [167]

Answer:

They are all formed in acidic solution.

Explanation:

The diagram for hemiacetal, acetal and imine is shown in the diagram below and a star is placed on the three of them since they are all form in acidic solution.

From the diagram; reaction of methanol with propanal leads to formation of hemiacetal. From CH₃OH(methanol), one hydrogen attaches itself to the Oxygen double bond on the propanal to form a new hydroxyl group, the other methoxyl (-O-CH₃) from methanol attaches itself to other part of the propanal.

The further addition of methanol to Hemiacetal yields to Acetal.

Imines are formed by Mannich Reaction  which is the  reaction of propanal with amine group and which is followed by the dehydration with a Schiff base.
