Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

 Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

  • Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

        1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

                p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

  Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

 The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³

How much percent of shops are in the city? How about in the country?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

I would say there would be 5-10% in a city, and maybe 10-20% in the country. It mainly varies depending on how big the city is, how many people/districts there are, and the size of the country, which makes it hard to give a certain percent of shops, as there may be small businesses included as well or new shops being built.

Hope this helps! This was pretty confusing for me as well so i hope the answer is alright (×﹏×)

40o+2 protons electrons And neurons
KatRina [158]

Answer: There are few simple rules to follow.

(1) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Z

= number of protons

(2) In neutrally charged elements, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.  

Z

= number of protons = number of electrons (no charge)

Otherwise, positive charge means that the element lost an electron and negative charge means it gained an electron.

(3) The atomic mass is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.

A

= number of protons + number neutrons  

or

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

So if you say that  

Z

= 20 and  

A

= 40, then

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

40 = 20 + number of neutrons

40 - 20 = number of neutrons

Therefore,

number of neutrons = 20
