Give the ground-state electron configuration for silicon (SiSi) using noble-gas shorthand. Express your answer in condensed form

as a series of orbitals. For example, [Ar]4s23d8[Ar]4s23d8 would be entered as [Ar]4s^23d^8.

Answer:

[Ne] 3s² 3p²

Explanation:

Silicon atoms have 14 electrons. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral silicon is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p².

Using noble gas shorthand, the electronic configuration is reduced to;

[Ne] 3s² 3p². Ne s the nearest noble gas to silicon, Ne contains 8 electrons, this means there's still 4 more electrons to fill. The s orrbital can only hold 2, hence the reaing two is transferred to the p orbital.

Firdavs [7]

Answer: V2 = 35.54L

Explanation:

Applying

P1= 67.4, V1= 85, T1= 245, P2= 179.6, V2= ?,. T2=273

P1V1/ T1= P2V2/T2

Substitute and simplify

(67.4*85)/245 = (179.6*V2)/273

V2= 35.54L

Why is carbon used to extract metals from their oxides? ​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon. The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal.

Water vapor particles are most likely to phase change into liquid particles if the vapor particles come into contact with
dalvyx [7]
Water vapour particles are most likely to phase change into liquid particles if the vapour particle come into contact with A COOLER SURFACE.
For a liquid to change to gas, it has to absorb enough energy to break the chemical bond that is holding the liquid particles together. When a liquid change to gas it is called vaporization. When a vapour, for instance water vapour comes in contact with cooler surfaces they lose energy and get converted back to the liquid state; this process is called condensation.

Please help . also need the name of their binary ionic compound . ​
madreJ [45]

Answer:

See below!

Explanation:

For the chemical formula, you need to have enough of each atom so that the charge is zero.

Aluminum has a +3 charge, and fluorine has a -1 charge.  Since the charge has to be zero, you need three fluorines, giving you AlF₃.

Barium has a +2 charge, and oxygen has a -2 charge.  Since the charges are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, you only need one of each atom giving you BaO.

The name of the ionic compound will be the metal and then the nonmetal.  When putting the nonmetal in, change the ending to "-ide".  For example "chlorine" would be "chloride.

CaCl₂  ==>  calcium chloride

Ga₂S₃  ==>  gallium sulfide

K₃N  ==>  potassium nitride

AlF₃ ==>  aluminum fluoride

BaO  ==>  barium oxide

Veronika [31]
The gas is NH₃.
H₂ doesn't dissolve readily in water, SO₂ gives an acidic solution in water.

The solid residue is Fe(OH)₂.
FeSO₄ and Na₂SO₄ are soluble in water.

The answer is C.
