Zr has atomic number 40 , so it need to lose 4 electrons to gain noble gas configuration of the noble gas Kr

Answer:

4 electrons are lost.

Explanation:

Hello,

Zirconium's electron configuration is:

Zr^{40}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^24d^2

This allows us to infer that when all the electrons present at both the 5s^2 and the 4d^2 orbitals, 4 electrons are lost (two from 5s^2 and two from 4d^2), allowing the Zr^{4+} species to exist.

Best regards.

3. Dorji was provided with four colourless solutions. He was asked to
givi [52]

Answer:

First, we can test Solution 1. We know that Sodium Hydroxide is a strong base. If we test acids on blue litmus paper, they will turn red. If we test bases on red litmus paper, they will turn blue.  So, you can test all the of the solutions- water, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid with blue and red litmus paper. HCl, Hydrochloric acid is an acid, so it will turn blue litmus paper red. It will not turn red litmus blue. The acids will turn blue litmus paper red. The bases will turn red litmus paper blue. Only water is a neutral liquid, which will not turn blue litmus paper red or red litmus paper blue. It will not change the colour of it. Thus, if you test all the solutions with blue and red litmus paper, you will know which solution is water.  Water is the only one which is neutral. It is the only solution which cannot change the colour of any litmus paper. Thus, you can identify it very easily.

Why must living things rely on thousands of catalysts for chemical reactions necessary for life?
Murrr4er [49]
Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.

Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.

In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.

Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.

If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.
