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:

$Ca:20:[Ar]4s^2$

Answer: The reaction between bromine gas and fluorine gas to create bromine monofluoride gas has reached equilibrium. What is the effect of adding more bromine gas to the reaction chamber?

More fluorine gas will be produced.

More bromine gas will be produced.

More bromine monofluoride gas will be produced.

Less bromine monofluoride gas will be produced.

I think it is more bromine monofluoride will be produce

Mark Brainliest please

Answer

There are 17 nutrients that essential for the growth of the plants. These nutrients are classified into two categories on the basis of requirement micronutrients (required in less amount) and macronutrient (required in large amount). The three primary nutrients needed for plant growth are nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.

Calculate the molarity of the acid solution.<br>H2SO4(aq) with a pH of 2.

Lena [83]

Concentration "molarity" of H₂SO₄ in this solution:

5 × 10⁻³ mol / dm³.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the concentration of H⁺ ions in this solution?

$[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}}$ ,

where $[\text{H}^{+}]$ is in the unit mol / dm³.

$\text{pH} = 2$

$[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-2} \;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

What's the concentration "molarity" of H₂SO₄ in this solution?

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is a strong acid. Note the subscript "2". Each mole of this acid dissolves in water to produce two moles of H⁺ ions. It takes only $\dfrac{10^{-2}}{2} = 5 \times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ of H₂SO₄ to produce twice as much H⁺ ions.

As a result, the <em>molarity</em> of H₂SO₄ is 5 × 10⁻³ mol / dm³ or 0.005 M.
