Answer:

Explanation:

There are principles that guides the distribution of electrons into the energy levels in an atom. Some of the principles are:

1. The maximum number of electrons in the orbitals of sublevels are:

2 electrons for s-sublevel with one orbital

6 for p-sublevel with 3 orbitals

10 for d- sublevel with 5 orbitals

14 for f-sublevel with 7 orbitals.

The maximum number of electrons in an orbital is 2.

2. Aufbau principle: it states that sublevels with lower energy are filled up before those with higher energy. Sublevels have pattern of filling.

3. Pauli exclusion principle: it states that no two electrons can have the same set of the four quantum numbers.

4. Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity: electrons goes into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels singly before pairing starts.

2 What is the correct sequence of steps for the preparation of a pure sample of copper(II) sulfate

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. dissolving → evaporation filtration → crystallisation

Explanation:

The method of the preparation of a pure sample of copper(II) sulfate from dilute sulfuric acid and copper II oxide is given as follows:

step 1. Adding dilute sulfuric acid into a beaker. Using bunsen burner heat the beaker.

step 2. Adding the copper (II) oxide into the beaker and give it a little time at a time to the warm dilute sulfuric acid and stir

step 3. Filtering the mixture into an evaporating vessel to remove the excess copper (II) oxide and water from the filtrate.

Step 4. leave the rest filtrate to crystallize.

Copper (II) Oxide {CuO (s)} + Dilute Sulfuric Acid {H2SO4 (aq)} → Copper (II) Sulphate {CuSO4 (s)} + Water {H2O}

Pickles and lemons have a sour taste. what types of substances are in pickles to give them this sour taste

postnew [5]

The taste of Acid is Sour, that of Base is Bitter and salt is salty. So, Pickle and Lemons give sour taste due to presence of Acids. The sour taste of Lemon is due to presence of Citric Acid in it. While the sour taste of Pickle is due to presence of Vinegar (5% Acetic Acid Solution). Vinegar is mainly used to prevent the Pickle from Bacterial Attack.

The student plans to conduct a spectrophotometric analysis to determine the concentration of Cu2+(aq) in a solution. The solutio

mestny [16]

Answer:

The wavelength the student should use is 700 nm.

Explanation:

Attached below you can find the diagram I found for this question elsewhere.

Because the idea is to minimize the interference of the Co⁺²(aq) species, we should <u>choose a wavelength in which its absorbance is minimum</u>.

At 400 nm Co⁺²(aq) shows no absorbance, however neither does Cu⁺²(aq). While at 700 nm Co⁺²(aq) shows no absorbance and Cu⁺²(aq) does.

The subshell letter:a) specifies the 3-D shape of the orbital.b) specifies the principal shell of the orbital.c) specifies the p

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a) specifies the 3-D shape of the orbital

Explanation:

To determine the region where is more probable to find the electron, it is characterized by four quantum numbers:

- Principal quantum number (n): represents the level, or shell, where the electron is. It varies from 1 to 7, and are represented by the letters K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q.

-Azimuthal quantum number (l): represents the sublevel, or subshell. Is represented by the letters s, p, d, f, g, ... And by the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Each one has a 3-D shape, the s, for example, has a spherical shape.

-Magnetic quantum number (ml): represents the orbital inside the subshell, and varies from -l to +l, passing by the 0. Each orbital can have at least 2 electrons.

-Spin quantum number (ms): represents the spin of the electron, which can be +1/2 or -1/2.
