C a solution because salt is a solute
Answer:GLACIERS ARE MADE UP OF FALLEN SNOW OVER MILLION YEARS, IN MOST OF POLAR REGIONS IT TURNS TO ICE AND WILL FLOW DOWNWARDS AND OUTWARDS UNDER ITS OWN PRESSURE
AND THE LARGEST GLACIER IN THE WORLD IS 60 MILES WIDE AND AROUND 270 MILES LONG.
IT COVERS 10% OF EARTH'S TOTAL LAND
Explanation:
Answer:
Canonical structures of a chemical specie explain its observed properties from a valence bond theory perspective.
Explanation:
Resonance is a valence bond concept introduced by Linus Pauling to explain the observed properties of certain chemical species such as bond lengths, bond angles, bond order , etc.
There are certain chemical species for which a single chemical structure does not suffice in explaining its observed properties. For instance, the bond order in CO3^2- is about 1.33. Its bond length, shows that the C-O bond present in CO3^2- is neither a pure C-O single bond nor a pure C-O double bond. Hence the structure of CO3^2- is 'somewhere in between' three contributing canonical structures as shown in the image attached to this answer. The resonance structures of NO3^- are also shown.
The principal quantum number, <span>nn</span>, designates the principal electron shell. Because n describes the most probable distance of the electrons from the nucleus, the larger the number n is, the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the larger the size of the orbital, and the larger the atom is. n can be any positive integer starting at 1, as <span><span>n=1</span><span>n=1</span></span> designates the first principal shell (the innermost shell). The first principal shell is also called the ground state, or lowest energy state. This explains why <span>nn</span> can not be 0 or any negative integer, because there exists no atoms with zero or a negative amount of energy levels/principal shells. When an electron is in an excited state or it gains energy, it may jump to the second principle shell, where <span><span>n=2</span><span>n=2</span></span>. This is called absorption because the electron is "absorbing" photons, or energy. Known as emission, electrons can also "emit" energy as they jump to lower principle shells, where n decreases by whole numbers. As the energy of the electron increases, so does the principal quantum number, e.g., n = 3 indicates the third principal shell, n = 4 indicates the fourth principal shell, and so on.
