The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Classify each element. Note that another term for main group is representative, another term for semi-metal is metalloid, and the inner transition metals are also called the lanthanide and actinide series.

Hf, Am, In, Ta, As, Se, Rn

<u>Answer:</u>

Hafnium and tantalum are transition elements.

Americium is a inner transition element.

Indium, Selenium and Radon are main group elements.

Arsenic is a metalloid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Main group elements are the elements which belong to s block and p block. They are also known as representative elements.

S-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters s-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is ns^{1-2}

P-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters p-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is np^{1-6}

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show intermediate properties between metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are: Boron, Silicon, germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.

Transition elements are known as d-block elements. D block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters d sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is [(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}]

Inner transition elements are known as (f block) elements. (F block) elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters (f subshell). The general electronic configuration of these elements is [(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-1}ns^{2}]. They are also known as lanthanide and actinide series.

For the given elements:

  • <u>Option 1:</u> Hf

Hafnium is the 72nd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^26s^2

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

  • <u>Option 2:</u> Am

Americium is the 95th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Rn]5f^{7}6d^07s^2

As, the last electron is entering the (f subshell), it is a inner transition element.

  • <u>Option 3:</u> In

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]5s^25p^1

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

  • <u>Option 4:</u> Ta

Tantalum is the 73rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^56s^2

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

  • <u>Option 5:</u> As

Arsenic is the 33rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]4s^24p^3

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element. It shows an intermediate property of metal and non-metal. Thus, it is a metalloid.

  • <u>Option 6:</u> Se

Selenium is the 34th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]4s^24p^4

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

  • <u>Option 7:</u> Rn

Radon is the 86th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^6

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

How many grams of ammonia produced from 1000 grams of N2?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

N2 + 3H2 ———> 2NH3

As we know 1000 grams ammonia is 58.82 moles so according to unitary method,

2 mole NH3 formed by 1 mole N2 hence 58.82 NH3 will be given by 29.41 moles N2.

No. Of moles = given mass/molar mass

Implies that

Mass of nitrogen required = 29.41*28 = 823.48 grams.

According to the website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the average temperature of the universe is
charle [14.2K]

Answer : The temperature in degree Celsius is, -270.45^oC

Explanation :

The conversion used for the temperature from Kelvin to degree Celsius is:

^oC=K-273.15

where,

K = temperature in Kelvin

^oC = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the temperature in Kelvin is, 2.7

Now we have to determine the temperature in Kelvin.

^oC=K-273.15

^oC=2.7-273.15

^oC=-270.45

Therefore, the temperature in degree Celsius is, -270.45^oC
