Sodium is the 11th element in the periodic table so it will have 11 electrons (if you're not sure if something is right always check how many electrons they're are it's like checking your work in math). There are 4 energy "types" in the periodic table: S,P,D and F. Starting from the top left you are in the first energy level 1 (in the S area which is always the first two elements on the left of the table before the transition metals) and there are two elements (hydrogen and helium) so you have 1s^2 then you go down to the second column and you have the first two elements which are Lithium and Beryllium so your next config is 2s^2. Now you have more elements on the left and those are in the "P energy section" and there are 6 elements there so you put 2p^6. Now you move down again and you're in the 3rd energy level and sodium is the 1st element and so you only need to put 3s^1. Your econfig is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 and 3s^1

Please answer, please answer please answer please answer<br>my last 2 chemistry question.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

1. filtration and evaporation

2. i) water is added to the sand and salt mixture

ii) then the mixture is filtrated and so the sand and the salt water was seperated

iii) the salt water is heated with the help of burner until the water gets evaporated

iv) after the water gets evaporated, the salt is remained in the container

3. observation:

on adding water to the mixture, the salt is completely dissolved in the water
when filtrated the sand is seperated from the salt water
now the salt water when heated with the burner until the evaporation, the water is evaporated
the salt is precipitated and remained in the container

4. cautions:

while using the burner, we should be cautious with fire
the container that is heated should be holded with the help of a cloth to avoid heat

What are the benefits and limitations to relative dating rock layer?

vlabodo [156]

Relative dating can only determine the sequential order<span> of events, not the exact date which something occurred. It is useful for being able to determine a timeline of events in an exact point, but won't give a full picture of events in the past nor account for the age of material.

Rutherford’s gold foil experiment gave evidence that an atom is mostly empty space. true false

Sholpan [36]

The given statement is true .

<h3>What is Rutherford’s gold foil experiment?</h3>

A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a favorable charge. Most alpha particles went right around. This showed that the gold particles were mostly space.

The Rutherford gold leaf investigation supposed that most (99%) of all the mass of an atom is in the middle of the atom, that the nucleus is very small (105 times small than the length of the atom) and that is positively captured.

For the distribution experiment, Rutherford enjoyed a metal sheet that could be as thin as practicable. Gold is the most malleable of all known metals. It can easily be converted into very thin sheets. Hence, Rutherford established a gold foil for his alpha-ray scattering experimentation.

The temperature in Jersey City, NJ in mid-Spring is 60*F. The temperature in Miami, FL is 90*F on the same day. Miami is about 1

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Temperature gradient = 30

90F - 60F = 30F

The temperature gradient is 30F.

If I am right, let me know.
