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.

A galvanic cell generates a cell potential of 0.32V when operated under standard conditions according to the reaction above. Whi
Ugo [173]

The complete question is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Let us quickly remember that the EMF of a cell under non standard conditions in given by the Nernst equation.

This equation states that;

E = E°cell - 0.592/n log Q

Where

E = EMF under non standard conditions

E°cell= standard EMF of the cell

n = number of electrons transferred

Q = reaction quotient

If the reaction quotient is greater than 1 then cell potential is less than the standard cell potential.

The cell that generates the lowest cell potential is the cell depicted in option C because Q has the greatest positive value(Q<1).

If the decomposition of a sample of k c l o 3 kclox3 produces 3. 29 g of o 2 ox2 , what was the mass (g) of the original sample?
____ [38]

The mass (g) of the original sample after decomposition is 8.3983 g.

A decomposition reaction can be described as a chemical reaction wherein one reactant breaks down into or extra merchandise.

explanation:

Reaction          2KClO₃ ⇒ 2KCl + 3O₂

moles               2               2            3

molar mass    122.55        74.55    32

Given, Mass of O₂ = 3.29g ⇒ moles of O₂

                                            =  (3.29/32) = 0.1028

3 moles of O₂  produced by 2 moles of KClO₃

Therefore, 0.1028 moles of O₂  produced by (2*0.1028/3) = 0.06853 moles of Kclo₃

Mass of KClo₃ in original sample is = moles * molar mass

                                                        = 0.06853 * 122.55

                                                       = 8.3983 g

A decomposition response occurs whilst one reactant breaks down into or extra merchandise. this may be represented through the general equation: XY → X+ Y. Examples of decomposition reactions consist of the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, and the breakdown of water to hydrogen and oxygen.

The mass spectra of alcohols often fail to exhibit detectable M peaks but instead show relatively large ________ peaks.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer: M-18

Explanation:

The mass spectra of alcohols often fail to exhibit detectable M peaks but instead show relatively large __M-18___ peaks.

Mass spectroscopy is used to determine the molecular mass and molecular formula of a sample.

When the mass spectra of alcohols do not show detectable M peaks, they show relatively large M-18 peaks.
