Desertification is when fertile land becomes desert, hence the name, usually because of deforestation or a drought.

How many electrons in an atom can have each of the following quantum number or sublevel designations?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: (a) 2 (b) 6 (c) 14

Explanation:

In the Azimuthal quantum number(l) electrons in a particular subshell (such as s, p, d, or f) are defined by values of l (0, 1, 2, or 3).

s is l=0, p is l=1, d is l=2, f is l=3.

The magnetic quantum number (ml) The value of ml can range from -l to +l, including zero. Thus the s, p, d, and f subshells contain 1, 3, 5, and 7 orbitals each, with values of m within the ranges 0, ±1, ±2, ±3 respectively. Each shell can have 2 x l + 1 sublevels, and each of these sublevel can accommodate up to two electrons.

(a) n=2, l=1, ml=0. If l=1 then 2 x 1+ 1=3 sublevels, 3*2=6 electrons. When l=1, ml =-1,0,+1, ml=0 accommodate two(2)electrons

(b) 5p. p is l=1 If l=1 then 2 x 1+ 1=3 sublevels, 3*2= electrons. This means in the 5 shell, the p orbital has 3 subshell and accommodate 6 electrons.

(c) n = 4, l = 3 if l=3 then 2 x 3+ 1=7 sublevel 7*2=14 electrons. This means the in the 4 shell, the f orbital has 7 subshell and accomdate 14 elections.

Hello,

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$a)\ 2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3\\b)\ Decomposition\ Reaction$

Explanation:

Ferrous Sulphate $(FeSO4)$ is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide $(SO_3)$ , Sulphur Dioxide $(SO_2)$ as well as Ferric Oxide $(Fe_2O_3)$ .

We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.

Hence,

$FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

Now,

a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of steps:

1. First, lets compare the number of Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside $FeSO_4$ .

2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:

Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :

$2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds decompose into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate decomposes into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is Decomposition Reaction.

How does the type of chemical bonds present in a substance affect the substances properties?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Once a chemical bond is formed, the atoms are rearranged to form a stronger bond, affecting the hardness, malleability, etc. The stronger the bond, the easier a substance will break, or, if its a liquid, it will resist seperation.
