The ground state electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom with lower energy levels. The electrons occupying the orbitals of varying energy levels naturally falls towards the lowest energy state or ground state.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.
The superscript of
indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of
. That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each
ion.
Similarly, the superscript
on each
ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.
Assume that the coefficient of
(among the reactants) is
, and that the coefficient of
(among the reactants) is
.
.
There would thus be
silver (
) atoms and
aluminum (
) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for
and
would be
and
, respectively.
.
The
ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of
electrons. On the other hand, the
ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of
electrons.
Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of
electrons, the right-hand side should also be
electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of
electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore,
.
The smallest integer
and
that could satisfy this relation are
and
. The equation becomes:
.
At 50 degrees Celsius and standard pressure inter-molecular forces of attraction are strongest in a sample of ethanoic acid.
Ethanoic acid has hydrogen atom bonded with a more electronegative atom; Oxygen. As a result, the molecule possesses strong intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds. Therefore; ethanoic acid, and all other carboxyllic acids have the tendency to form dimers.
In binary ionic compounds the name of the cation (Metal) is first, so that’s how you know.
Robert A. Millikan and Harvey Fletcher performed the oil drop experiment.
