Suppose you take a trip to a distant universe and find that the periodic table there is derived from an arrangement of quantum n

umbers different from the one on Earth. The rules in that universe are: principal quantum number ????=1,2,... (as on Earth); angular momentum quantum number ℓ=0,1,2,...,????−1 (as on Earth); magnetic quantum number ????ℓ=0,1,2,...,ℓ (only positive integers up to and including ℓ are allowed); spin quantum number ????s=−1,0,+1 (that is, three allowed values of spin). Assuming that the Pauli exclusion principle remains valid in the distant universe, what is the maximum number of electrons that can populate a given orbital there? maximum number electrons per orbital: Write the electronic configuration of the element with atomic number 8 in the periodic table. Superscript numbers where appropriate but omit parentheses. electronic configuration:

Answer:

  • <em>Maximun number of electrons per orbital:</em> <u>3</u>
  • <em>Electron configuration of the element with atomic number 8</em>:

           <u>1s³ 2s³ 2p²</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Pauli's exclusion principle.</u>

Pauli's exclusion principle states that none two electrons of an atom may have the same set of quantum numbers.

Since the real rule (in our normal universe) is that the spin quantum number can only have two values (s = +1/2 or -1/2), that implies that only two electrons can populate a given orbital here.

<u>2) Rules in the distant universe.</u>

  • The rules for the principal quantum number (n), and the angular momentum quantum number (ℓ), are the same of the Earth.

  • The rule for the magnetic quantum number (mℓ) is different than in the Earth:

        - In the Earth: mℓ = from - ℓ to + ℓ

        - In the distant universe: mℓ = from 0 to ℓ

The implication of this is that there will be only two p orbitals in the distant universe, correponding to ℓ = 0 and ℓ = 1,  instead of three p orbitals as in the Earth.

  • The rule for the spin (ms) number is different than in Earth:

        - In Earth: s = +1/2 or -1/2 (two possibilities)

        - In the distant universe: ms = -1, 0, - 1

Then in each s or p orbital there will be 3 electrons.

<u>3) Electron configuration in the distant universe</u>

Hence, for the element with atomic number 8, which means that the number of electrons is 8, the configuration is:

  • 1s³ (because 3 electrons can populate this orbital)
  • 2s³ (because 3 electrons can populate the second s orbital
  • 2p² (because the 2 remaining electrons can be placed in the orbitals p: remember that in this distant universe there are two p orbitals, so you can accomodate until 6 electrons in them, 2 × 3 = 6.

<u>Conclusion:</u>

  • Maximun number of electrons per orbital: 3
  • Electron configuration of the element with atomic number 8:

             1s³ 2s³ 2p²

The solution of two linear equations is (-2,2). One equations has a slope of 3. The slope of the other equation is the negative
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Its true ⇒ answer (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

* The solution of two linear equation means that this solution

  is a solution for each equation

* To check if the point is a solution of an equation

- Substitute its coordinates in the equation, if the left hand side

 is equal the right hand side, then the point is a solution

 of this equation

* Lets study our problem

- (-2 2) is the solution of two linear equations

- The slope of one equation is 3

- The slope of the second equation is the negative reciprocal

 of the slope of the first, means = -1/3

* Check the this conditions in the given equations

- In the equation y = 3x + 8 ⇒ the slope = 3

- In the equation y = -1/3 x + 4/3 ⇒ the slope = -1/3

* Now lets substitute the solution (-2 , 2) in the both equations

- First equation

∵ y = 2 ⇒ L.H.S

∵ 3(-2) + 8 = 2 ⇒ R.H.S

∵ L.H.S = R.H.S

∴ (-2 , 2) is a solution of the equation y = 3x + 8

- Second equation

∵ y = 2 ⇒ L.H.S

∵ (-1/3)(-2) + 4/3 = 2/3 + 4/3 = 6/3 = 2 ⇒ R.H.S

∵ L.H.S = R.H.S

∴ (-2 , 2) is a solution of the equation y = -1/3 x + 4/3

∴ (-2 , 2) is the solution of the two equations

* Its true

Question 9: Please help, what would be the length of the image of the segment GH?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>The length of the image of the segment GH would be 5 units.</em></u>

Explanation:

You can use the <em>center of dilation</em> as your origin of coordintes.

Thus, the <em>point H</em> would have coordinates (0,0) and the <em>point G</em> (-1,0).

A <em>dilation</em> multiplies the coordinates by the <em>scale factor</em>. Hence:

  • H = (0,0) → H' = 5 × (0,0) = (0,0)
  • G = (-1,0) → G] = 5 × (-1, 0) = (-5, 0)

Thus, the length of the image of segment GH would be the distance from 0 to -5 in a number line, which is 5.

Which figure will tessellate the plane? A. regular pentagon B. regular decagon C. regular octagon D. regular hexagon
Harrizon [31]
<h3>Answer: D. regular hexagon</h3>

A hexagon is composed of 6 congruent equilateral triangles. Each equilateral triangle has interior angle of 60 degrees. Adding 6 such angles together gets you to 360 degrees. So we've done one full rotation and covered every bit of the plane surrounding a given point. Extend this out and you'll be able to cover the plane. A similar situation happens with rectangles as well (think of a grid, or think of tiles on the wall or floor)

In contrast, a regular pentagon has interior angle 108 degrees. This is not a factor of 360, so there is no way to place regular pentagons to have them line up and not be a gap or overlap. This is why regular pentagons do not tessellate the plane. The same can be aside about decagons and octagons as well.
