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.

sergeinik [125]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        V_{max} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min

          K_{m} = 5.2 \times 10^{-6} M

Now, according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics,

              V_{o} = V_{max} \times [\frac{S}{(S + Km)}]

where, S = substrate concentration = 10.4 \times 10^{-6} M

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        V_{o} = V_{max} \times [\frac{S}{(S + Km)}]

        V_{o} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min \times [\frac{10.4 \times 10^{-6} M}{(10.4 \times 10^{-6}M + 5.2 \times 10^{-6} M)}]

            V_{o} = 6.8 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min \times 0.667

                              = 4.5 \times 10^{-10} \mu mol/min

This means that V_{o} would approache V_{max}.

Is o-toluic acid soluble in ether, NaOH?, Is Napthalene soluble in NaOH?
natima [27]
Yes, o-toluic acid is soluble in ether as ether is slightly polar and it is soluble in NaOH because it is likely to form soluble compounds with it.

Naphthalene is insoluble in NaOH.
