Answer:
C.
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of N (7 electrons): 1s² 2s² 2p³.
The orbital 1s is filled with two electrons and their spinning direction is opposite and also electrons of 2s.
3p contains (3 electrons) should fill the 3 orbitals firstly. Every orbital contains 1 electron and be in the same spin direction.
So, the right choice is c.
A is wrong because 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.
B is wrong because the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and also 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.
D is also wrong the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and the electron in the second orbital of 3p are in opposite direction of the other 2 electrons.
The hydrogen and oxygen atoms that combine to form water molecules are bound together by covalent bonds. The electron from the hydrogen splits its time between the incomplete outer shell of the hydrogen atom and the incomplete outer shell of the oxygen atom.
Explanation:
The valence electrons within an atom is the number of electrons in its outermost shell.
These electrons are used by an atom to react with one another. They determine the extent to which an atom is ready to combine either by losing, gaining or sharing these electrons.
- Every atom desires to have a completely filled outermost shell.
- Only the elements in group 8 have a complete octet.
- The need to attain stability is driven by the number of electrons in their valence shell.
- Therefore, some atoms are very reactive.
- Those needing one electrons to complete their octet and also those that must lose one electron are very reactive.
Answer:
1. The correct option is;
c. maintains charge balance in the cell
2. The correct option is;
c. +3.272 V
Explanation:
The aqueous solution in a galvanic cell is the electrolyte which is a ionic solution containing that permits the transfer of ions between the separated compartment of the galvanic cell such that the overall system is electrically neutral
Therefore, the aqueous solution maintains the charge balance in the cell
2. Here we have;
B₂ + 2e⁻ → 2B⁻ Ecell = 0.662 V
A⁺ + 1e⁻ → A Ecell = -1.305 V
Hence for the overall reaction, we have;
2A + B₂ → 2AB gives;
(0.662) - 2×(-1.305) = +3.272 V.
