Answer:

The number of core electrons = 18 electrons.

The number of valence electrons = 1 electron.

Explanation:

  • The core electrons are the electrons in the inner shells (1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶).

∴ the number of core electrons = 18 electrons.

  • The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell (4s¹).

∴ the number of valence electrons = 1 electron.

Answer:

18 core electrons

1 valence electron

Explanation:

In the periodic table, potassium stands at the head or beginning of the fourth period. It is found in group 1. The third period ends with argon having 18 electrons. This implies that potassium should have at least 18 core electrons. Since it is found in group 1 having only 1 valence electron, it is expected to also have one valence electron.

Its electron configuration summarizes these statements above; 1s22s22p63s23p64s1

There are 18 core electrons and one valence electron in the outermost 4s1 orbital (the fourth shell)

Help me please !! is it A,B,C, or D ???
Nata [24]
Ok, after doing an immense amount of research I came up with the most logical answer.

A. Is indicated by a negative enthrall sign.

Reasoning: an endothermic reaction is ice melting and the energy being more than its surroundings. Not specified to ice but as an example, ice is endothermic. That puts d and b out of the running leaving you left with a and c.

When I searched up enthalpy, it said “When a substance changes at constant pressure, enthalpy tells how much heat and work was added or removed from the substance.” Which is similar to c, right? Yeah, meaning both a and c are similar in that aspect.

The reason I decided to go with a is because heat is NOT released into the surrounding, exothermic reactions release energy and heat into the surrounding.

2. What is the difference between an organ and an organ system
aleksandrvk [35]
The difference between an organ and a tissue is that basically tissues are a group of similar cells that works together. Then a group of tissue that works together would make up an organ. Groups of organ working together later makes up an organ system. This is the main difference between an organ and a tissue.

Give me three reasons why iodine isn't soluble in water.<br><br> Thanks a lot !
inn [45]

Answer:

Because Iodine is a non-polar but water is polar therefore it can not have a hydrogen bond or any permanent dipole-dipole interactions
