Answer:

Aluminium.

Explanation:

The above electronic configuration can be written in a simplified form as shown below:

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p¹

Next, we shall determine the number of electrons in the atom of the element as follow:

Number electron = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 1

Number of electron = 13

Next, we shall determine the number of protons.

Since the element is in its neutral state,

The number of electrons and protons are equal i.e

Proton = Electron

Number of electron = 13

Proton = Electron = 13

Proton = 13

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element.

The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element i.e

Atomic number = proton number

Proton = 13

Atomic number = 13

Comparing the atomic number of the element with those in the periodic table, the element with the above electronic configuration is aluminium since no two elements have the same atomic number.

In a reaction, chlorine accepts an electron to form Cl-. What is true about the atomic size of the chlorine ion?

Lynna [10]

Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.

Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.

Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.

Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.

If a car is traveling 100 km/h and comes to a stop in 3 minutes,what is acceleration of a passenger who is using vehicle restrai

Rama09 [41]

We are given –

Final velocity of car is, v= 0
Initial velocity of car is, u= 100 km/hr
Time taken, t is = 3 minutes or 180 sec

Here–

$\qquad$ $\pink{\bf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = 100 \:km/hr}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = \dfrac{ 100 \times 1000}{3600} \:m/s$

$\qquad$ $\pink{ \bf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = 27.78\: m/s}$

Now –

$\qquad$ ____________________________

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{Final\: Velocity -Initial \:Velocity }{Time}}$

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{v -u}{t}}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{(0- 27.78)}{1800}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Acceleration =\cancel{ \dfrac{- 27.78}{1800}}$

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = -0.15 \: m/s^2}$

$\qquad$ _______________________________
