Element atomic number position
Ba 56 group 2, period 6
Ca 12 group 2, period 3
S 16 group 16, period 3
Si `14 group 14, period 3
Now, you need to know the properties of the different type of elements and the tendencies on the periodic table.
The metallic elements are, those placed on the left side of the periodic table, are the ones that release an electron more easily, so they will requiere less energy to give it up when forming chemical bonds.
The higher the metallic character the less the energy need to give up an electron.
The metallic character grows as the group number decreases (goes to the left) period increases (goes downward), so among the elements considered, Barium will require the least amount of energy to give un an electron when forming chemical bonds.
Answer: The enthalpy of combustion, per mole, of butane is -2657.4 kJ
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is,
The expression for enthalpy change is,
Putting the values we get :
2 moles of butane releases heat = 5314.8 kJ
1 mole of butane release heat = 
Thus enthalpy of combustion per mole of butane is -2657.4 kJ
Goods are objects that fulfill peoples needs and wants.
Answer: There are 4.375 moles in 2.5 L of 1.75 M 
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:
Molarity of solution = 1.75 M
Volume of solution = 2.5 L
Putting values in equation , we get:

Answer:
a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4
Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic
b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1
For Au+ is not paramagnetic
c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2
Mn2+ is paramagnetic
d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²
Hf2+ is not paramagnetic
Explanation:
An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.
Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.
Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.
Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.
Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.
