What electron configuration repreents the first excited state of phosphorus?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Xelga [282]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Option C:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 3p4

Explanation:

At a ground level, Phosphorous has an electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3 (using the spdf notation).

Once the atom becomes excited, an electron from the 3s sub-level will gain energy and jump over to the 3p sub-level, making the configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 3p4.

The number of electrons at the 3p sub-level will now become 4 because of the addition of the new electron while the number of atoms at the 3S sub-level will reduce to 1 because an electron left this sub-level.

Why might nuclear fusion be a better source of energy on earth than nuclear fission?
AleksAgata [21]
<span>Cost and availability of fuel is a considerable factor when dealing with nuclear power. Fission requires an element that can be easily split in a particle accelerator, such as uranium or plutonium. Fusion, on the other hand, uses isotopes of hydrogen atoms, specifically deuterium and tritium, that can be obtained from ordinary water</span>

What is the name of CuO? Explain how you determined the bond type and the steps you used to determine the naming convention for
yulyashka [42]

The name of CuO is copper II oxide and its bond type is ionic or electrovalent bond.

<h3>What is electrovalent bond?</h3>

An ionic or electrovalent bond is the type of chemical bond where two atoms or molecules are connected to each other by electrostatic attraction.

This electrostatic attraction is as a result of the transfer of electrons from the metallic element to the non-metal.

According to this question, CuO is a chemical compound consisting of two elements namely; copper and oxygen. The compound name is copper II oxide.

Copper as a metal transfers electrons to oxygen atoms, hence, an ionic bond is formed between the molecules.

How to solve 5gNaCl= MolE NaCl
valentinak56 [21]

0.086mole

Explanation:

The problem is very simple. It involves conversion from mass to number of moles of NaCl

What is mole?

 A mole is a unit of measuring chemical substances. It is the amount that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

How is it related and can be converted from mass;

 

Number of moles of a substance = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Since we know the mass, we can find the molar mass and put into this equation;

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles of NaCl = \frac{5}{58.5}  = 0.086mole
