When electrons are filling energy levels, the lowest energy sublevels are occupied first. This is Hund's rule.
Hund's rules state that:
Every orbital in a sublevel has to be singularly occupied before any other orbital is able to be doubly occupied.
All of the electrons in single occupied orbitals have to have the same spin to maximize the total spin.
Answer:
A. Occur in gaseous and liquid state
Explanation:
The choice that is not a characteristic of minerals is that minerals occur in gaseous and liquid state.
All minerals are solid inorganic compounds.
- A mineral is an inorganic compound that is formed naturally.
- They have a definite and specific chemical composition.
- Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
- When minerals aggregates together, they form different rock types.
- There is no known mineral that is in fluid state.
- All minerals are solids.
- Examples are quartz, kaolinite, gypsum e.t.c
The potassium will donate one of its valence electrons
