Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Atomic number of beryllium is 4 and its electronic distribution is 2, 2. This means there are only two shells of electrons.

Whereas atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.  This means there are three shells of electrons.

Also there is one more valence electron in sodium as compared to beryllium.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the element X is sodium (Na).

A single electron configuration can represent multiple atoms. The one below represents the following atoms with different charge
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

To have the electronic configuration equal to 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷, the chemical element must have an electrical charge equal to 27, that is, it must have 27 electrons, such as Cobalt (Co), for example.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration shown in the question above is known as the Linus Pauling distribution and represents the energy sub-levels that an electrically charged atom can have in relation to the amount of electrons it has.

The layers sub-levels are presented in the following order 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹º 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹º 5p⁶ 6s² 4f14 5d¹º 6p⁶ 7s² 5f14 6d¹º 7p⁶. Where the small numbers represent the number of electrons in each sub-level and the large numbers represent the layers of electronic distribution.

Accordingly, we can see that an atom that has the configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷ has 27 electrons, like Cobalt.

A 15.75 g piece of iron absorbs 1097 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 25°C to 177°C. Calculate the specif
vekshin1

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of iron (m) = 15.75 grams

heat (q) = 1097 J

initial temperature (t_{1}) = 25°C

final temperature (t_{2}) = 177°C

To find:

specific heat (c)

We know;

 c = q ÷ mΔT

where;

c represents the specific heat

q represents the heat

m represents the mass

t represents the temperature

c = \frac{1097}{15.75 * (177-25)}

c = 0.45 J/kg°C

<u><em>Therefore the specific heat capacity of iron is 0.45 J/kg°C.</em></u>

If 20.0 mL of Ca(OH)2 with an unknown concentration is neutralized by 37.5 mL of 0.124 M HCl, what is the concentration of the C
Nady [450]
You first need to write the balanced chemical reaction for what is going on.
Ca(OH)₂+2HCl→2H₂O+CaCl₂

After you make the balanced chemical reaction, First you find the moles of HCl used.  To do this multiply 0.0375L by 0.124M to get 0.00465mol HCl.  Then you multiply 0.00465mol HCl by (1mol Ca(OH)₂)/(2mol HCl) to get 0.002325mol Ca(OH)₂.  Finally to find concentration of Ca(OH)₂ used you divide 0.002325mol by 0.020L to get 0.116M Ca(OH)₂.
Therefore the concentration of the unknown solution of Ca(OH)₂ was 0.116M.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
