Answer:

2s^2 2p^2

Explanation:

Group 4A contains a total of 4 electrons for each atom in their valence shell. Filling the orbital diagram, let's say, for carbon, notice that when we start with period 2, we have two elements in the s-block, that is, lithium and beryllium. They correspond to the two s electrons that belong to the valence shell of carbon.

Moving on, we have boron and carbon, the remaining 2 electrons. Now, starting with boron, we're in the p-block.

That said, looking at the second period, the electron configuration for the valence shell of a group 4A element would be:

2s^2 2p^2

In your own words, explain why we have seasons on Earth. Why do some places have all 4 seasons and others seem to only have 1 or
Ber [7]
We have seasons on earth because of the way the earth is tilt on its axis. at a certain time in the year, the sun's rays reach certain parts of the globe more than others.

some places have 4 seasons because they are in the northern hemisphere, which is in the sweet spot of the sun's rays that give us each season. other places only have 1 or 2 because they are not in the northern hemisphere.

Farmers who raise cotton once used arsenic acid, H₃AsO₄, as a defoliant at harvest time. Arsenic acid is a polyprotic acid with
Stels [109]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

      H_{3}AsO_{4} \rightleftharpoons H_{2}AsO^{-}_{4} + H^{+}

Hence, the expression for K_{a} is as follows.

            K_{a} = \frac{[H_{2}SO^{-}_{4}][H^{+}]}{[H_{3}AsO_{4}]}

Let us assume that the concentration of both [H_{2}AsO^{-}_{4}] and [H^{+}] is x.

           2.5 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{x \times x}{0.5}

                          x = 0.01118034

This means that the concentration of [H^{+}] is 0.01118034.

Since, we know that the relation between pH and concentration of hydrogen ions is as follows.

              pH = -log [H^{+}]

                    = -log (0.01118034)

                    = 1.958

Thus, we can conclude that the pH of a 0.500 M solution of arsenic acid is 1.958.
