Answer:

Cotton

Explanation:

Cellulose, another natural polymer, is the main structural component of plants. Most natural polymers are condensation polymers, and in their formation from monomers water is a by-product.

Answer:

B. Cotton

Explanation:

A polymer is a macro molecule or gaint molecule which is formed as a chain from many small molecules(which is called as a monomer).

Polymer is a repeating unit of many monomers.

For example

Ethylene or ethane formula is C2H4.

Many ethane molecules under particular temperature and pressure conditions undergo the polymerization process to form polyethene. During this process the double bond breaks and becomes single bond and produces a long chain which we call it as a polymer.

The repeating unit of Cotton polymer is called as Cellubiose which is made up of 2 glucose units.

The number of units which forms the polymer (degree of polymerization) is about 5000 cellubiose units.

Find the quantinum numbers n,m,l,s for the last of potassium layer pleasee help explain correctly all

Answer:

Quantum numbers of the outermost electron in potassium:

$n = 4$ .
$l = 1$ .
$m_l = 0$ .
Either $m_s = 1/2$ .

Explanation:

Refer to the electron configuration of a potassium atom. The outermost electron in a ground-state potassium atom is in the $4s$ orbital (fourth $s$ orbital.)

The quantum number $n$ (the principal quantum number) specifies the main energy shell of an electron. This electron is in the fourth main energy shell (as seen in the number four in the orbital.) Hence, $n = 4$ for this electron.

The quantum number $l$ (the angular momentum quantum number) specifies the shape ( $s$ , $p$ , $d$ , etc.) of an electron. $l = 1$ for $s\!$ orbitals (such as the one that contains this electron.

Quantum numbers $n$ and $l$ specify the shape of an orbital. On the other hand, the magnetic quantum number $m_l$ specifies the orientation of these orbitals in space.

However, $s$ orbitals are spherical. Regardless of the value of $n$ , the only possible $m_l$ value for electrons in $s\!$ orbitals is $m_l = 0$ .

The spin quantum number $m_s$ distinguishes between the two electrons in an orbital. The two possible values of $m_s \!$ are $(+1/2)$ and $(-1/2)$ . Typically, the first electron in an orbital is assigned an upward ( $\uparrow$ ) spin, which corresponds to $m_s = (+1/2)$ .
