Answer:

The correct answer is b.

Explanation:

The quantum number n specifies the energetic level of the orbital, the first level being the one with the least energy. As n increases, the probability of finding the electron near the nucleus decreases and the orbital energy increases.

In the case of atoms with more than one electron, the quantum number l also determines the sublevel of energy in which an orbital is found, within a certain energy level. The value of l is designated by the letters s, p, d, and f.

The principal quantum number (n) is needed to determine the energy of an electron in a many-electron atom

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In an atom, there are energy levels in the shell and sub shell.

This energy level is expressed in terms of electron configurations.

Writing the electron configuration starts from the lowest to the highest subshell's energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in an atom's shell, namely s, p, d, and f.

Each sub-shell also has orbitals drawn in the form of a square box in which there are electrons symbolized by half arrows.

Each orbital in an atom consists of 4 quantum numbers

n is the principal quantum number ---> describes the size of the orbitals

l is the angular momentum / azimuthal quantum number -> describes the shape of the orbitals.

ml, the magnetic quantum number -> describes the orientation of orbitals in space

ms, the electron-spin quantum number ---> describes the spin of electrons

Value of n: positive integer

value of l: s = 0, p = 1, d = 2, f = 3, ... (n-1)

ml value: between -l to + l

ms value: +1/2 or -1/2

The energy of the electrons is indicated by the value of n, because electrons can move between the shell by releasing energy or absorbing energy. the greater the value of n, the greater the electron energy . The Value of n = 1 is the lowest energy level

So the correct answer is a)n

How many moles are in 2.5L of 1.75 M Na2CO3
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

4.4 mol.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the formula for calculating the molarity is:

M=n/V

Whereas n stands for moles and V for the volume in liters; we can solve for n as shown below when we are given the volume and the molarity:

n=V*M

Thus, we plug in the given data to obtain:

n=2.5L*1.75mol/L=4.4mol

Best regards!

Density is the ratio of a sample's mass to its volume. A bar of lead has a mass of 115.2 g. When it is submerged in 25.0 mL of w
Margarita [4]

Answer:

$10.97 \ g/cm^3$

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of a bar of lead = 115.2 g

Initial water level $\text{in the graduated cylinder}$ = 25 mL

Final water level $\text{in the graduated cylinder}$ = 35.5 mL

Difference in the water level = 35.5 - 25

                                               = 10.5 mL

                                               = 10.5 \ cm^3

We know that when a body is submerged in water, it displaces its own volume of water.

Therefore, the volume of the lead bar = volume of the water displaced = 10.5 mL  = 10.5 \ cm^3

We know that mathematically, density is the ratio of mass of body to its volume.

Density of the lead bar is given by :

$\rho =\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

$\rho =\frac{\text{115.2 g}}{\text{10.5 cm}^3}$

  = $10.97 \ g/cm^3$
