Answer: 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Explanation: The element with atomic number 20 consists 20 electrons and  as atomic number is specific to an element, atomic number is of element calcium.

The nearest noble gas to calcium is argon with 18 electrons with configuartion 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6 according to afbau's rule, in which orbitals are arranged in order of increasing energies.

Thus electronic configuartion of calcium in terms of noble gas configuration is:

Ca:20:[Ar]4s^2

1. (8pt) Using dimensional analysis convert 600.0 calories into kilojoules
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. 2.510kJ  

2. Q = 1.5 kJ

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information for this calorimetry problem, we can proceed as follows:

1. Here, we consider the following equivalence statement for converting from calories to joules and from joules to kilojoules:

1cal=4.184J\\\\1kJ=1000J

Then, we perform the conversion as follows:

600.0cal*\frac{4.184J}{1cal}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}=2.510kJ

2. Here, we use the general heat equation:

Q=mC(T_2-T_1)

And we plug in the given mass, specific heat and initial and final temperature to obtain:

Q=236g*0.24\frac{J}{g\°C} (34.9\°C-8.5\°C)\\\\Q=1495.3J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} \\\\Q=1.5kJ

Regards!

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful
BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

Eddie
