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>).

Metallic pan is provided with a wooden plastic handle give reason​
AlladinOne [14]

The metallic pan iis most likely going to be used on a stove.

The stove is heating something, and the conductive metallic pan will, well, conduct that heat throughout the entire body of the pan. Doing this will spread the heat to the handle, burning your hands.

Both wood and plastic are insulators, and they do not conduct heat or electricity. They will insulate your hands and protect them from the heat.

Give the major force between ethanol and rubbing alcohol.
insens350 [35]
The major force between ethanol and rubbing alcohol is hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bond are intermolecular force that are weaker than covalent bond but holds atoms together in a molecules. For an hydrogen bond to be formed, a molecule must contain an hydrogen atom that will be bonded to one of the most electronegative element.
