Which statement about relative potential energy of electrons is correct?

Biology
2 answers:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is: C. An electron in the 3 p orbital of the third electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell.

Electron shells or energy levels of the electrons are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found (electrons occupy only energy levels not the space between them). Electrons in the level 1 (K) have the lowest amount of energy, electrons at higher levels have more energy thet increases by a fixed, discrete amount. Electrons can jump to the higher level by absorbing energy or to a lower by releasing it in the form of light.

Answer:

Option C, An electron in the 3 p orbital of the third electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell.

Explanation:

There are different arrangements of orbits s,p,d and f, where s is the closest to the nucleus and has least energy as compared to  other orbits.  Also, even in p orbitals an electron which lies in 2p orbit is close to nucleus and hence has less energy as compared to electron lying in 3p orbit. Thus, the nearer the orbit lies to the nucleus , the lesser is the energy of the electron rotating in this orbit as they face the strongest force of positively charged nucleus.

Hence, option C is correct.

What does the light red layer between the white lumen and blue lamina propria consist of?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The light red layer between the white lumen and blue lamina propria consist of epithelium cells.

<h3>What is a lamina propria?</h3>

A lamina propria is a type of connective tissue that is present and found  under the thin layer of tissues covering a mucous membrane.

<h3 /><h3>Characteristics of the lamina propria</h3>
  • It is a very large layer of connective tissue
  • It divides the innermost layer from a layer of smooth muscle tissue.
  • it is a light red layer barrier located between the white lumen and blue lamina.
  • It is made up of epithelium cells.
  • It is also found in the respiratory tract, the Gastrointestinal tract, and the urogenital tract.

Thus, the light red layer between the white lumen and blue lamina propria consist of epithelium cells.

Canine teeth of human beings are called vestigial organs and archaeopteryx is called a bridge animal,why?​
Alexxandr [17]

Canine teeth are not as useful as it is in animals while archaeopteryx has the character of both birds and reptiles.

<h3>What are vestigial organs?</h3>

The vestigial organs are those organs that have no apparent function in the body which means that the body can do without them.

Examples of vestigial organs in the body are:

  • appendix

  • wisdom teeth

The canine teeth is a type of teeth in mammalian dentition and is said to be vestigial because man can do without it.

Archaeopteryx are animals that has the characteristics of both birds and reptiles because it bears wings like birds and has hands it uses to crawl like a reptile.

Naya [18.7K]
The client is at risk of developing urinary retention. The client has very high creatinine levels, which shows serious problems with kidney function or probably kidney damage. Tiotropium is a drug used to treat several lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, one of the drug's adverse effects is the retention of urine, painful urination or difficulty in urinating.
