<u>Answer:</u> The number of valence electron in the given atom are 5

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given electronic configuration:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^3

When an element belongs to d-block, the number of valence electrons are present in ns,np\text{ and }(n-1)d orbitals

Here, n = 4

The electrons in '4s' orbital = 2

The electrons in '3d' orbital = 3

Number of valence electrons = 2 + 3 = 5

Hence, the number of valence electron in the given atom are 5

Answer:

5

Explanation:

The valence electrons are the electrons that are located in the outermost shel of an atom.

Writing the configuration properly, we have:

                         1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d³

In this atom, there is a total number of 23 electrons. This is a transition metal.

The 4s and 3d orbitals are in the outermost energy levels and so their electrons are valent.

rjkz [21]
The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or basic. Blue litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions and red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions, with the color change occurring over the pH range 4.5–8.3 at 25 °C (77 °F).

Which of the following situations contains an example of a chemical reaction?
bogdanovich [222]

A bicycle rusting after it is left in the rain is an example of a chemical reaction because it involves oxidation (Option d).  

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction can be defined as a phenomenon in which one or more substances called reactants react to form one or more different compounds, which are known as products.

A chemical reaction may include an enzyme that works to increase the seed of the reaction in normal conditions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.

Therefore, we can conclude that a chemical reaction such as oxidation in a bicycle is a process where reactants combine or break down to form the products of such reaction.

Complete question:

Which of the following situations contains an example of a chemical reaction?

a. Ice forming after water is placed in a freezer

b. Watercolor paint drying on paper

c. a sugar cube dissolving in a glass of water

d. a bicycle rusting after it is left in the rain
