A neutral atom in the ground state of Sulfur has its outer most valence electron in which orbital? f d

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natasha_Volkova [10]3 years ago
3 0

<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 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

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:

a) Neutralisation

b) Combustion

c) Synthesis

d) Decomposition

e) Neutralisation

f) Double Displacement Reaction

h) Single Displacement Reaction

i) Double Displacement Reaction

j) Combustion

Explanation:

Synthesis  is a reaction where various compounds/ elements react to form a totally new compound.

Decomposition is a reaction where a single compound breaks down into several components due to excessive heating or energy applied.

Single Displacement Reaction is a type of chemical reaction where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound.

Double Displacement Reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.

Combustion is a reaction where a compound/ element oxidises in the presence of Oxygen.

Neutralisation reaction is a reaction where an acid reacts with a base to form a salt.

15. An electrically neutral atom consists of 15 neutrons, 13 electrons, and a number of protons. What is its mass number?​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

28

Explanation:

it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28
