What is the correct electron configuration for copper?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kakasveta [241]3 years ago

Answer:

[Ar] 3d10 4s1

Explanation:

The correct electronic configuration of copper is [Ar] 3d10 4s1

Copper has atomic number 29 and due to the stability of half filled or fully filled orbitals or shells, the electrons from the 4s jumps to the 3d and makes the 3d shell contain 10 electrons.

This is what I mean:

Cu = Ar 4s2 3d10 is the expected configuration of copper when we follow the principle of filling the various orbitals that is the s, p, d, f orbitals.

But because we write 3d before writing 4s, we have Ar 3d10 4s2. Instead of this configuration becoming the correct one, an electron from the 4s orbital jumps to the 3d orbital to complete the orbital giving the electrons in the 3d orbital 10.

So therefore the correct configuration is Ar 3d10 4s1

Convert the following into balanced equations:
sesenic [268]

Gallium metal is heated in oxygen gas, it melts and forms solid gallium(III) oxide.

             Ga + O₂⇒   Ga O₂

Balance the atoms with simple - whole coefficients.

4 Ga + 3 O₂   2 Ga₂O₃.

Specify the states of matter.

4 Ga(s)  + 3 O₂ (g) ⇒   2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

Therefore, balanced equation is----- 4 Ga(s)  + 3 O₂ (g)  ⇒ 2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

What is the balanced formula equation?

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

Why are equations balanced?

A balanced equation obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass. This is an important guiding principal in science. Finally, a balanced equation lets up predict the amount of reactants needed and the amount of products formed.

What is the percent by volume of isopropyl alcohol in a solution that contains 45 ml of isopropyl alcohol in 1.4 L of water?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

3.11%

Explanation:

We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1400 mL of water+ 45 mL of IPA,

and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:    45/(1400+45) *100 = 0.0311*100 =  3.11%

<h2>Answer:  C) 1s²2s²2p⁶</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A noble gas has 8 electrons between the p and s orbitals of the outer shell. Helium is the exception because it only has two electrons.

<h3>                       ∴  1s²2s²2p⁶ is the noble gas (neon)</h3>
