What is the first step to determine the sequence of filling electron configurations of an element?

1 answer:

6 0

Basically, the arrangement of electrons in electronic configuration follows three principles:

1. Aufbau Principle
You start from the highest energy level to the lowest. The arrangement is: <span>1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d<5p<6s<4f<5d<6p<7s<5f<6d<7p.

2. Hund's Rule
Each box in the configuration can hold up to 2 electrons. This rule tells you to fill all boxes of one particular subshell with 1 electron first, before double occupying them.

3. Pauli's Exclusion Principle
This rule tells you that the two electrons in a box shall always have opposite spins, represented by one half-arrow up and one half-arrow down.</span>

define unit cell and explain why the unit cell will always crystallize from solution or break into the same shape

boyakko [2]

Answer:The structure of solids can be described as if they were three-dimensional analogs of a piece of wallpaper. Wallpaper has a regular repeating design that extends from one edge to the other. Crystals have a similar repeating design, but in this case the design extends in three dimensions from one edge of the solid to the other.

We can unambiguously describe a piece of wallpaper by specifying the size, shape, and contents of the simplest repeating unit in the design. We can describe a three-dimensional crystal by specifying the size, shape, and contents of the simplest repeating unit and the way these repeating units stack to form the crystal.

The simplest repeating unit in a crystal is called a unit cell. Each unit cell is defined in terms of lattice points--the points in space about which the particles are free to vibrate in a crystal.

How many atoms are in 0.075 mol of titanium?

Annette [7]

The mass of titanium is = 47,867 g/1mol

Applying the rule of avrogado

1mol _______ 6,023 × 10^(23) at

0,075mol ___ x

X . 1mol = 0,075mol . 6,023 . 10^(23)at

X = 0,075 . 6,023 . 10^(23) at

X = 4,51 . 10^(22) atoms

Determine the heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22 degrees celsius to 39 degrees celsius.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.

Explanation:

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Where:

Q = heat absorbed or heat lost

c = specific heat of substance

m = Mass of the substance

ΔT = change in temperature of the substance

We have mass of copper = m = 25.3 g

Specific heat of copper = c = 0.385 J/g°C

ΔT = 39°C - 22°C = 17°C

Heat absorbed by the copper :

$Q=25.3 g\times 0.385 J/g^oC\times 17^oC=165.59 J$

The heat needed to warm 25.3 g of copper from 22°C to 39°C is 165.59 Joules.

Which of the following best describes the

ella [17]

Answer: (C)

The frequency increases as the wavelength decreases

Explanation:

The relation between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is

Frequency = 1 / Wavelength

The Frequency of electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength. So, as the frequency increases, the wavelength of the wave decreases and vise-versa.

The frequency of a wave is number of complete cycles passing a particular point per second. Its S.I unit is Hertz whereas the wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crest and trough in meters.

So, on increasing the frequency of a wave, there will be more number of the cycles of wave per second which will decrease the distance between the consecutive crest and trough i.e wavelength.
