Answer:

  • Scandium: 3d
  • Yttrium: 4d
  • Lanthanum: 5d
  • Rest of rare earth elements: 4f (<em>they are part of the f-block</em>)
  • Actinide series: 5f

Explanation:

The electron subshell being filled is defined by the differential electron, which is the last electron placed in the electron configuration.

The rare earth series involves 17 elements: scandium, yttrium and 15  lanthanides. The subshell filled for these elements are:

  • Scandium: 3d
  • Yttrium: 4d
  • Lanthanum: 5d
  • Rest of rare earth elements: 4f (<em>they are part of the f-block</em>)

The actinide series includes 15 elements. The electron subshell filled for these elements is 5f (<em>they are part of the f-block</em>).

As shown below, a hammer was placed into a graduated cylinder. What is the volume displacement of the hammer?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

B. 4 ml

Explanation:

Volume displacement of the hammer = volume volume of water when the hammer was placed into the cylinder - volume of water only before the hammer was placed into the cylinder.

Volume volume of water when the hammer was placed into the cylinder = 69 ml

Volume of water only before the hammer was placed into the cylinder = 65 ml

Volume displacement of the hammer = 69 ml - 65 ml = 4 ml

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. Solve for the number of bacteria tha
pshichka [43]
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
