Answer:

The answer to your question is:  B and C.

Explanation:

Neon atomic number = 10

Electron configuration is not :   1s²2s¹2p⁶  .

This electron configuration is for fluor (9 electrons) because is we sum up the electrons ( 2 + 1 + 6) the result is 9.

A)The 3s orbital should be part of the configuration.  This is not the right reason.

B)The total number of electrons is incorrect.  This correct, the number of electrons is 9 instead of 10.

C)The 2s orbital does not have enough electrons.  This option is correct, 2s must have 2 electrons and it only has 1.

D) The 1s orbital does not have enough electrons. This option is incorrect, 1s orbital can have only 2 electrons.

Briefly explain formality in solution.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Both molarity and formality express concentration as moles of solute per liter of solution. Formality is a substance's total concentration in solution without regard to its specific chemical form. ... The formality of a solution is defined as the number of formula mass of any solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution.

A student wants to collect data during an experiment about the transfer of kinetic energy in a sample of water and ice. Which to
erastova [34]

Given what we know, the tool in question that will help the student collect data regarding the transfer of kinetic energy between water and ice would be a thermometer.

<h3>How does the thermometer measure kinetic energy?</h3>

It does not do so directly. However, kinetic energy in water molecules is reflected in the temperature of the water. When water molecules increase their kinetic energy and move more, they become hotter. Increased or decreased heat is an indirect way to measure the transfer of kinetic energy in water.

Therefore, given that the temperature of the water is a reflection of the transfer of kinetic energy happening, we can confirm that the tool that will help the student collect the data needed is a thermometer.
