Sulphur is located in the third period and group 16. The general electronic configuration of group 16 is ns^{2} np^{4} therefore the maximum number of valency electrons in group 16 is 6. The electronic configuration of sulphur is [Ne] 3s^{2} 3p^{4}3d^{0}. Sulphur has six valency electrons whereas sulphur can have more than eight electrons in its valency shell as it have an empty d-shell electrons can accumulate in the empty d-shell. The complete d-shell and the P_{z} orbital will be empty. As each orbital can accept 2 electrons, sulphur can have 12 valency electrons in its valency shell.

The value of "d" is 80°

Explanation:

Cyclic quadrilaterals are the special group of quadrilaterals with all its base lying on the circumference of the circle. In other words, a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is called a cyclic quadrilateral.

Cyclic quadrilateral are characterised by some special features such as

  • Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is always a supplementary angle.
  • If one of the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral is produced, then the exterior angle so formed is always double of the corresponding interior angle.  

Using the property 1  

We find that since the quadrilateral is cyclic, opposite pairs must be supplementary

100° +∠D must be equal to 180°  

D=180° -100° =80°

The law of the conservation of mass must be obeyed in a chemical reaction. what do the atoms do during a reaction that shows the
Rainbow [258]
A balanced equation is a prime example of the law of the conservation of mass as the number of atoms in the reactants is consistent with the number of atoms in the reactants meaning the amount of matter has not changed and no mass has been created or destroyed hence obeying the law.
