Which element does the electron configuration 1s22s22p2 represent? B C N K

Chemistry
2 answers:
ch4aika [34]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

the electronic configuration corresponds to the number of electrons that an atom of an element has and these are compensated with the number of protons in the nucleus of the element, therefore the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons in the orbitals.

The number of protons in the nucleus corresponds to the number Z, this is what allows us to differentiate between one element and another  

1s^2 2s^22p^2

We add the electrons

2+2+2=6

The number of electrons is 6 that matches the number of protons (which is the number Z)

We look for in the periodic table the element Z = 6 (atomic number)

The element that corresponds to this number is carbon

The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2, then the number of electrons is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6. The number of electrons equals the number of protons and this is the atomic number. So, the atomic number of the element is 6.<span> In a periodic table you can find that the element with atomic number 6 is carbon. So the answer is C.</span>

What is the difference between covalent bonds and ions
Korvikt [17]
Ionic bonds have high emelting point amf boiling point while covale t bonds have low melting point and boiling point.
ionic bonds cannot conduct electricity in solid state but can conduct in the molten state or when dissolves in water. while covalent bonds cannot conduct electricity in any state.
ionic bonds are soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents while most covalent bonds are soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water

A student was asked to determine the concentration of ammonia, a volatile substance used in the clinical setting as a respiretor
UNO [17]

This question is describing two chemical equations whereby the concentration of ammonia has to be determined. The first reaction is between 25.00 mL of ammonia and 50.00 mL of 0.100-M HCl whose excess was neutralized with 21.50 mL of 0.050-M Na₂CO₃ and thus, the concentration ammonia in the cloudy solution was determined as 0.114 M.

First of all we need to go over the titration of the excess HCl with Na₂CO₃ by writing the chemical equation it takes place when they react:

2HCl+Na_2CO_3\rightarrow 2NaCl+CO_2+H_2O

Whereas the mole ratio of HCl to Na₂CO₃ is 2:1 and the volume of the HCl leftover is determined as follows:

V_{HCl}^{leftover}=\frac{2*0.050M*21.50mL}{0.100M} =21.5mL

Next, we infer that the consumed volume of HCl by the ammonia solution was:

V_{HCl}^{consumed}=50.00mL-21.50mL=28.5 mL

Then, we write the chemical equation that takes place between ammonia and HCl:

HCl+NH_3\rightarrow NH_4Cl

Whereas the mole ratio is now 1:1, which means that the concentration of ammonia was:

M_{NH_3}=\frac{28.5mL*0.100M}{25.00mL}\\\\ M_{NH_3}=0.114M

aliina [53]

Answer:

Answer B is correct. Paying off your credit card bill will reduce the amount of debt you have and improve your credit score. Closing old credit cards only works if they are unused. As savings accounts are not included in a credit report, opening a new savings account will not have an effect, either negative or positive, on your credit score. Using up your credit limit will have the negative effect of lowering your credit score.
