Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Explanation:

For ground state atoms you need to fill the orbitals in order.

Orbital s has max 2 electrons

Orbital p has max 6 electrons

Level 1 only has s orbital

Level 2 has s and p orbitals

Level 3 has s, p and d orbitals

You fill them in order until you reach 16 electrons:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

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

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies. Sulphur with atomic number of 16 will have 16 electrons and thus the ground state electronic configuration is:

S:16:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

Calculate the total pressure in a mixture of 8 g of dioxygen and 4 g of dihydrogen confined in a vessel of 1 dm8 at 27 ∘C. (R =
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Total pressure =  56.77 bar

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of dioxygen = 8 g

Mass of dihydrogen = 4 g

Volume of vessel = 1 dm³

Temperature = 27°C (27+273 = 300 K)

R = 0.083 bar.dm³ / mol.K

Total pressure = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of dioxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 8 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.25 mol

Pressure of dioxygen:

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = 0.25 mol × 0.083 bar.dm³ / mol.K × 300 K / 1 dm³

P = 6.97 bar.dm³  /1 dm³

P = 6.97 bar

Number of moles of dihydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2 mol

Pressure of dihydrogen:

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = 2 mol × 0.083 bar.dm³ / mol.K × 300 K / 1 dm³

P = 49.8 bar.dm³  /1 dm³

P = 49.8 bar

Total pressure of mixture in a vessel:

Total pressure = P (O₂) + P(H₂)

Total pressure =  6.97 bar + 49.8 bar

Total pressure =  56.77 bar

When do d orbitals start getting filled
Ghella [55]

Answer & Explanation:

D orbitals begin filling with electrons after the orbital found in the 4s sublevel is filled. This occurs because the d sublevel is first found in the.
