Answer:
           One: <u>Selenium</u> is Paramagnetic

Explanation:
                   Those compounds which have unpaired electrons are attracted towards magnet. This property is called as paramagnetism. Lets see why remaining are not paramagnetic.

Electronic configuration of Scandium;

Sc  =  21  = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹

Sc³⁺  =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶ 

Hence in Sc³⁺ there is no unpaired electron.

Electronic configuration of Bromine;

Br  =  35  = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁵

Br⁻  =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶

Hence in Br⁻ there is no unpaired electron.

Electronic configuration of Magnesium;

Mg  =  12  = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²

Mg²⁺  =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶

Hence in Mg²⁺ there is no unpaired electron.

Electronic configuration of selenium;

Se  =  34  = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴

Or,

Se  =  34  = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4px², 4py¹, 4pz¹

Hence in Se there are two unpaired electrons hence it is paramagnetic in nature.

Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?
babunello [35]

Answer:

e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.

Explanation:

  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
  • An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
  • <em><u>In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction.</u></em> The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.

If the spin of one electron in an orbital is clockwise, what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The other electron must have anticlockwise spin.

Explanation:

According to the pauli exclusion principle, the two elecrton present in same orbital must have opposite spin.

If the one electron is clockwise the other must be in anti clockwise direction. The clockwise direction is represented by the sign +1/2 while anti clockwise direction is represented by -1/2.

According the pauli principle, the two electrons must have different fourth electronic quantum number. The electron in same orbital have same first three quantum number i.e, n=1 l=0 and ml =0 in case of first subshell.
