Answer:

Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure

Explanation:

The configuration of these elements is as follows;

Cl₁₇ = 2, 8,7 (the outer electron is 7)

Ca₂₀ = 2,8,8,2 (the outer electron is 2)

Ne₁₀ = 2,8 (the outer electron is 8)

Na₁₁ = 2,8,1 (the outer electron is 1)

Based on the outer electron value above, Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure.

What is the energy of a photon of red light that has a frequency of 4.48 X 10^14Hz?

lana [24]

Answer:

E = 29.7× 10⁻²⁰ j

Explanation:

Given data;

Frequency of light = 4.48 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Energy of photon = ?

Solution:

Formula:

E = h.f

E = energy of photon

h = planck's constant

f = frequency

E = h.f

E = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Kg.m² /s × 4.48 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

E = 29.7× 10⁻²⁰ Kg.m²/s²

Kg.m²/s² = j

E = 29.7× 10⁻²⁰ j

An ideal gas at constant temperature is confined in an airtight cylinder, and a piston pushes down on the gas in the cylinder. a

FrozenT [24]

Pushing down a piston in an airtight cylinder would tend to increase the pressure in the system since the particle collision and collisions with the walls are now more frequent. Also, pushing further, the gas would undergo a phase change from gas to a liquid.

Write the ions present in a solution of K2CO3. Express your answers as chemical formulas separated by a comma. Offset subscripts

meriva

Answer:

K ^+ , CO3 ^2-

Explanation:

The compound is potassium trioxocarbonate(IV).

It contains cation (potassium ion) and acid radical ( trioxocarbonate (IV) ion).

Since K is in group 1 of the periodic table, it loses one electron to form ion i.e K^1. trioxocarbonate IV ion has a charge of 2-.and so the ions of the compound are as shown in the answer above.
