It is more convenient to use an orbital diagram when you want to show the number of unpaired electrons.


For example, the electron configuration of N is 1s² 2s²2p³.


The orbital diagram (see image below) gives the same information, but it also shows that the three 2p electrons are unpaired.


The number of unpaired electrons is useful when you are trying  to discover the magnetic properties of an atom or ion.

How many grams of sulfur are present in 83.2 grams of<br> sulfurdioxide?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

41.6 g

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of SO_2 as:-

Mass = 83.2  g

Molar mass of SO_2 = 64.066 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{83.2\ g}{64.066\ g/mol}

Moles_{SO_2}= 1.2987\ mol

From seen from the formula,

1 mole of sulfur is present in 1 mole of SO_2

So,

1.2987 mole of sulfur is present in 1.2987 mole of SO_2

Moles of sulfur = 1.2987 mol

Molar mass of sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Mass = Moles*Molar mass = 1.2987\times 32.065\ g = 41.6 g

When you add "plant food" to your potted geraniums, you are actually providing the plant with _____. View Available Hint(s) When
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

minerals

Explanation:

A potted geranium is plant that is capable of manufacturing complex carbohydrates from sugar synthesized through the process of photosynthesis.

<em>The process of photosynthesis primarily requires water and carbohydrate together with resources such as essential minerals. Hence, when a plant food is added to a plant, the most plausible term this refers to is minerals. This is because food contains minerals necessary for various metabolic activities of living organisms.</em>
