Answer:

D. Their valence electrons can be in both s and f sublevels.

Explanation:

The inner transition elements are those in the two long rows at the bottom of the Periodic Table.

The <em>lanthanide series </em>starts after Ba in Period 6, and the <em>actinide series</em> starts after Ra in Period 7.

Thus, we would predict their electron configurations to be of the form

n\text{s}^{2}(n-2)\text{f}^{n}

However, the energy levels of the <em>n</em>s, (<em>n</em>-1)d, and (<em>n</em>-2)f orbitals are so close in energy that there are many exceptions to our predictions

For example, here are some electron configurations.

La = [Xe]6s²5d (not [Xe]6s²4f)

Ce = [Xe]6s²4f5d (not [Xe]6s²4f²)

Pr = [Xe]6s²4f³ (as predicted)

Thus, their valence electrons can be in both s and f (and sometimes d) sublevels.

A. <em>Wrong</em>. The inner transition elements do not include the elements in Groups 3 to 12. They are the elements between Groups 2 and 3.

B. <em>Wrong.</em> They do not occupy the d block (those are the transition metals). They occupy the f block.

C. <em>Wrong</em>. They include the lanthanides and actinides, but most of them have at least one electron in an f sublevel.

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from one place to another. Matter is NOT carried with the wave! A wave can move through matter (a medium). If it must have a medium, it is called a mechanical wave.

Water has a boiling point of 100.0°C and a Kb of 0.512°C/m. What is the boiling
Reil [10]

Answer:

The boiling  point of a 8.5 m solution of Mg3(PO4)2 in water is<u> 394.91 K.</u>

Explanation:

The formula for molal boiling Point elevation is :

\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}m

\Delta T_{b} = elevation in boiling Point

K_{b} = Boiling point constant( ebullioscopic constant)

m = molality of the solution

<em>i =</em> Van't Hoff Factor

Van't Hoff Factor = It takes into accounts,The abnormal values of Temperature change due to association and dissociation .

In solution Mg3(PO4)2 dissociates as follow :

Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+} + 2 PO_{4}^{3-}

Total ions after dissociation in solution :

= 3 ions of Mg + 2 ions of phosphate

Total ions = 5

<em>i =</em> Van't Hoff Factor = 5

m = 8.5 m

K_{b} = 0.512 °C/m

Insert the values and calculate temperature change:

\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}m

\Delta T_{b} = 5\times 0.512\times 8.5

\Delta T_{b} = 21.76 K

Boiling point of pure water = 100°C = 273.15 +100 = 373.15 K

\Delta T_{b} = T_{b} - T_{b}_{pure}

T_{b}_{pure} = 373.15 K[/tex]

21.76 = T - 373.15

T = 373.15 + 21.76

T =394.91 K
