Two elements that have the same ground-state valence shell configuration of ns 2 np 2 are

Chemistry
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

carbon and silicon

Explanation:

Various groups of elements in the periodic table have different outermost shell electron configurations. Actually, elements are classified into groups on the basis of the number of electrons on the outermost shell of those elements. All elements with the same number of electrons on their outermost shell belong to the same group in the periodic table.

For elements in group 14, they all have four electrons on their outermost shell. Their general outer electron configuration is ns2 np2 as shown in the question. Two prominent members of this group are carbon and silicon. This ns2 np2 is the ground state outer electron configuration of all group 14 elements in the periodic table.

Describe briefly how to obtain the radial probability of an electron​
Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

The radial distribution function gives the probability density for an electron to be found anywhere on the surface of a sphere located a distance r from the proton. Since the area of a spherical surface is 4πr2, the radial distribution function is given by 4πr2R(r)∗R(r).

julsineya [31]

Answer:

C₆H₈O₇+ 3NaHCO₃ --› Na₃C₆H₅O₇ + 3CO2 + 3H₂O

Explanation:

The reaction occuring in lava lamp is acid base reaction.

When you drop tablet into water the citric acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate and forms water, a salt, and bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.

A drop of vinegar ( a weak acid ) is placed on a sample of each of the materials below. Which will show the most active reaction
professor190 [17]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Marble is also known as calcium carbonate and its chemical formula is CaCO_{3}.

When it combines with vinegar then it results in the formation of calcium acetate which is a water soluble compound along with the release of carbon dioxide which occurs in the form of bubbles and water.

The reaction is as follows.

    CaCO_{3} + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow Ca(CH_{3}COOH)_{2} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}

Whereas vinegar being a weak acid will not react with glass, copper and steel.
