Write the ground state electron configuration of zn using the noble-gas shorthand notation.
V125BC [204]
Atomic Number of Zinc is 30, means it contains 30 electrons. So, its electronic configuration is as follow,

                                    1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰
As,
          1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶  =  Argon
So,
Electronic configuration of Zinc in shorthand notation is as follow,

                                     [Ar] 4s², 3d¹⁰

Ten pints of 15 % salt solution are mixed with 15 pints of 10 % salt solution. What is the
sergij07 [2.7K]
Concentration\ rate=\frac{mass\ of\ product}{mass\ of\ substance}*100\%\\\\
15\%=\frac{m_1}{ms_1}*100\%\\ms_1=10pints\\
15\%=\frac{m_1}{10}*100\%\\
\frac{15}{100}=\frac{m_1}{10}\ \ |*10\\
m_1=\frac{150}{100}=1,5pints\\\\
10\%=\frac{m_2}{15}*100\%\\
0,1=\frac{m_2}{15}\ \ |*15\\
1,5=m_2\\
Resulting\ solution:\\
ms=ms_1+ms_2=15+10=25pints\\m=m_1+m_2=1,5+1,5=3pints
\\\frac{m}{ms}*100\%=\frac{3}{25}*100\%=12\%

What happens to the atomic radius when an elctron is lost​
Daniel [21]

Answer:

It decreases.

Explanation:

Due to changes in the Coulombic force, the protons within the nucleus of the ion have a much easier time pulling at one fewer electrons. This way, the electrons are pulled closer to the center, causing the radius to decrease.
