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: 7.98 grams of are produced if 10.7 grams of
are reacted.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
.....(1)
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
The chemical equation for the reaction is
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of produce = 1 mole of
So, 0.100 moles of produce=
of
Mass of =
Hence 7.98 grams of are produced if 10.7 grams of
are reacted.
