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.

When designing an engineering solution, certain criteria and constraints must be considered. Criteria are the features of the de
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The criteria listed in order of importance are;

1) To be inflated in the event of a collision in order to protect the occupants of the front of the vehicle

2) To be able to withstand the load of the breaking force of the occupants in the front seat of the vehicle during a collision

3) To be relatively tough so as to resist being torn on impact with a sharp object

The constraints listed in order of importance are;

1) How is the model design able to sense a collision that requires the airbag to be inflated

2) The uncertainty of the load the airbag will withstand upon collision

3) The possible hazard that could be caused by the gas used to inflate the airbag

4) The usage/interaction tendency between the vehicle occupant and the airbag system

Explanation:

In order to produce an effective design, it is important to be able to foresee the possible deficiencies of an idea so as to be able to mitigate the problems before an actual incident happens.
