Answer:

A) carbon  - 2

B) cobalt  - 3

C) sulfur   - 2

D) fluorine   - 1

E) titanium   - 2

F) germanium  - 2

Explanation:

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-

Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.  

(A) Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^2

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

(B) Cobalt.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{7}4s^2

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 3 orbitals will be singly filled in cobalt.

(C) Sulfur.

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

Thus, 3s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 2 electrons will be paired in 1 orbital and 2 orbitals will be singly filled in sulfur.

D) fluorine

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^5

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 1 orbital will be singly filled in fluorine.

E) Titanium

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{2}4s^2

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 2 orbitals will be singly filled in titanium.

F) Germanium

The electronic configuration is -  

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^2

Thus, 4s, 3d orbitals are fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Germanium has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

How objects with different masses and volumes have the same density?​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

mass and volume are independent. Two objects with the same volume can have different masses hence they can have different densities

Explanation:

The mass of atoms their size and how they are arranged determine the density

Which describes the products created from fission reactions? Question 3 options:
Ipatiy [6.2K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fission reactions are a type of nuclear reactions in which larger nuclei breaks apart into two or more smaller fragment releasing alpha, gamma of beta particles.

There are 3 types of particles that can be released during this process:

1. Alpha particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes alpha-decay process.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha

2. Beta particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes beta-minus decay process.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

3. Gamma radiations: these radiations are released when an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a process of spontaneous electromagnetic process.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

Hence, any of these particles can be released during the process of fission reaction with smaller atoms.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Unlike most chemical changes, most physical changes are easily reversed. When Adrian's teacher dissolves some sugar in a beaker
pochemuha

Answer:

By heating the solution

Explanation:

Physical changes and chemical changes are the two types of changes that a substance undergoes. Physical change does not alter the substance's chemical composition, hence, can be easily reversed. There is also no new product formed. This is contrary to the occurrences of a chemical change, which cannot be reversed after a new product has been formed.

A physical change is what occurs when Adrian's teacher dissolves some sugar in a beaker of water to form a sugar solution. This change does not involve any new product formation, hence, can be reversed. The sugar can be derived back from the solution by HEATING THE SOLUTION. The water (solvent) will evaporate and the sugar (solute) will precipitate.
