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.

What is the percentage composition when 10g of magnesium combines with 4g of nitrogen?
Ivanshal [37]
The %  composition   when 10g of magnesium combine   with  4g of   nitrogen  is  71.43%   magnesium   and  28.57 %  nitrogen

               calculation

%
  composition  =  mass  of an element  / total mass  x100
mass  of magnesium = 10 g
mass of nitrogen  =  4g

calculate  the  total  mass  used

=  10g of  Magnesium  + 4 g of  nitrogen = 14 grams

%   composition for  magnesium  is therefore  =  10/14  x100 = 71.43 %

%  
composition  for  nitrogen  is therefore = 4 /14  x100  =   28.57 %

What two categorical ways of thinking about matter are discussed in the passage?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

There's no passage but I can say that matter are that ''thing'' which extend through all Universe, matter is everything. It can be seen or felt as liquid, gas or solid. This changes of its state depend on the amount of energy that is involved.

So, here is used categorical thinking because is a abstract concept that is hard to understand sometimes. It's abstract when we say that matter is all, not  just what we see, but even what we don't see like ''Dark Matter'', which is the majority in the Universe.
