The electron configuration for an atom is 1s 2s 2p2. How many electrons does the atom have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
taurus [48]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Four  

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>superscripts</em> in an electron configuration tell us how many electrons are in a subshell.

If the electron configuration is 1s¹ 2s¹2p², the total number of electrons is

1 + 1 + 2 = 4

The atom contains four electrons.

<em>Note</em>: this atom is in an <em>excited state</em>, because the 1s and 2s subshells can each hold one more electron.

Hi can you slove this please. ..​
Crank

Answer : The balanced chemical equation will be:

(i) 2K+H_2SO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+H_2

(ii) Mg(OH)_2+Zn\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2+Mg

Explanation :

Balanced chemical equation : It is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

Part (i):

The balanced chemical equation will be:

2K+H_2SO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+H_2

This reaction is a single displacement reaction in which most reactive element (potassium) displaces the least reactive element (hydrogen) form their solution.

Part (ii):

The balanced chemical equation will be:

Mg(OH)_2+Zn\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2+Mg

This reaction is a single displacement reaction in which most reactive element (zinc) displaces the least reactive element (magnesium) form their solution.

Please help !!

1) boiling points increase as molecular weight increase and vice versa. This is due to the increase in van der waals forces between molecules.
2) branching decreases the melting and boiling i.e increase in branching decrease boiling point and melting point. This is due to the fact that there are less point of contact between neighbouring molecules, so molecules are farther apart from each other, which means weaker van der waals(London forces) less energy is required to overcome these force of attraction.
3) In homolytic fission each of the fragment retain one of the bonded electron and radicals are made if the molecule is neutral. In heterolytic fission one fragment gets both bonding electron.
The energy for the heterolytic fission is higher because energy is not only needed to break the covalent bond but also to overcome the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions formed.

How is stoichiometry used to calculate the amount of product from amount of reactant?
IceJOKER [234]
<span>Stoichiometry deals with the quantitative measurement of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Let suppose you are given with following reaction;

                                            A  +  2 B   </span>→    3 C

According to this reaction 1 mole of A reacts with 2 moles of B to produce 3 moles of C. Now using the concept of mole one can easily measure the amount of reactants reacted and the amount of product formed, as...

                    1 Mole Exactly equals 6.022 × 10²³ particles

                    1 Mole of Gas (at STP) exactly occupies 22.4 L Volume

                    1 Mole of any compound exactly equals the molar mass in                                 grams

Therefore, <span>Stoichiometry is very helpful in quantitative analysis.</span>
