Wave length measures the width of the wave
Remember that
- For being a bond covalent ∆E<1.8
- For being a bond ionic ∆E>1.8
#1
Carbon is present so it's covalent
#2
#3
- P-H will hardly form a bond
#4
#5
The fewer the carbon atoms, the closer it is to being a gas. The only one you have to check out is A which is hexane. You know that gasoline at the pumps has 8 carbons and its a liquid. So B and C are both not gases because they are above 8.
C6 (hexane) is a liquid at room temperature not a gas.
The answer is D. If there is a gas present, it must be C3
Molecules is the answer i believe
Answer:-
Carbon
[He] 2s2 2p2
1s2 2s2 2p2.
potassium
[Ar] 4s1.
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Explanation:-
For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.
The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.
For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.
So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2
Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.
So the short electronic configuration is
[Ar] 4s1.
For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.
So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.
For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
