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.

What is the mass of a 1.68-l sample of a liquid that has a density of 0.921g/ml?
Gwar [14]
Hey there!

Volume in mL :

1.68 L  * 1000 => 1680 mL

Density = 0.921 g/mL

Therefore:

Mass = density * Volume

Mass = 0.921 * 1680

Mass = 1547.28 g

Why potasium more reactive than lithium and sodium
frez [133]
So potassium is more reactive than lithium because the outer electron of a potassium atom is further from its nucleus than the outer electron of a lithium atom. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
