The advantage of using an orbital notation is that it shows the electron distribution in shells. 

<span>Dot structures only show the valence electrons of an atom which are the electrons found at the outermost shell. The orbital notation gives a more detailed depiction of the electrons in each shell. This is most advantageous for atoms that have special cases. </span>

<span>Some examples of atoms that have special electronic configurations are copper and chromium. For example, copper is more stable when the 3d subshell is completely filled. This leaves the 4s subshell with only 1 electron. Chromium is also more stable when its s and d subshells are only half full. The orbital notation depicts these special cases, whereas the dot structure does not.</span>

The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. Today, this process uses instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum.

If the only chemical you can find is labeled with the wrong concentration:_______
Softa [21]

Answer:inform the lab instructor and get instructions

Explanation:

If you come across a chemical in the laboratory which has been wrongly labelled, do not be quick to dilute it or take any further action. The laboratory instructor who may have prepared the reagent himself or has better knowledge about the reagent should be contacted immediately so that he/she can give you instructions about what to do with the wrongly labelled reagent.

What do the coefficients in front of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction represent ?
makvit [3.9K]

It indicates the number of moles of reactants and products

Explanation:

The coefficients in front of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction represents the number of moles of reactants and products.

Every reaction is made up of equal number of moles of reactants and products. Thus, chemical equations are written in such a way to obey the law of conservation of matter.

The numbers used are usually whole numbers and the are very important in stoichiometry.

Why does it take so much heat and pressure to create helium and other elements?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

To break down the nucleus of an atom

Explanation:

Remember to change from one element to another, is necessary to add protons, neutrons and electrons,in most of the cases.

The take an electron from an atom you need certain energy, but they are in the outside part of the atom so is not as much energy as the one is necessary to take one neutron or proton from the inside part of an atom.

In this way, is a must to have a combination of pressure and heat to destabilize an atom and take some of this subatomic particles.
