Answer:

Protons- 7 Electrons- 7 Neutrons- 7

Explanation:

Because protons is the atomic number and that is the same for electrons. Neutrons= Mass - atomic number

Nitrogen will be the same for P, E, N

Answer:

Explanation:

In Pre-AP Chemistry, the development of models to explain their macroscopic observations is a primary means through which students develop an understanding of the molecular world.

You will be forced to think and apply concepts to new situations, and even derive your own theories from application. This is excellent preparation for the higher levels of thinking required in college.

Chemistry, the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes.

Describe the distribution of mass within an atom

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The nuclei of most atoms also contain neutrons . The masses of subatomic particles are very tiny. ... Since the nucleus contains protons and neutrons, most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus. Protons and electrons have electrical charges that are equal and opposite.

Difference between emprical and molecular formula

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The key difference between empirical and molecular formulas is that an empirical formula only gives the simplest ratio of atom whereas a molecular formula gives the exact number of each atom in a molecule.

Which electron configuration represents the electrons of an atom in an excited state? * 2-3 2-7-1 2-8 2-8-1

Lemur [1.5K]

2-7-1

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy

Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy

So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:

Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level

The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward

2-7-1

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell

the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)

$\tt 1s^22s^22p^4\rightarrow ground~state\\\\1s^22s^22p^33s^1\rightarrow excited~state$

Identify the neutral element represented by this excited-state electron configuration, then write the ground-state electron conf

sineoko [7]

Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³
