A neutral atom in the ground state of Sulfur has its outer most valence electron in which orbital? f d
1 answer:
<u>Answer:</u> The outermost valence electron enters the p orbital.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in outer most orbital of an atom.
Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons.
Electronic configuration of sulfur atom is
The number of valence electrons are 2 + 4 = 6
These 6 electrons enter s-orbital and p-orbital but the outermost valence electron will enter the p-orbital.
Hence, the outermost valence electron enters p orbital.

Answer:
The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.
Explanation:
Entropy :It is defined as amount of energy which is unable to do work or the measurement of randomness or disorderedness in a system.
Molar heat of molar vaporization of Trichlorofluoromethane = 24.8 kJ/mol
Temperature at which Trichlorofluoromethan boils , T= 296.95 K
The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan :
The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.
