Answer:
Ca
2+
<K + <Ar<Cl − <S 2−
Explanation:
Ar,K +
,Cl −
,S 2−
,Ca 2+
have the same number of electrons. Their radii would be different because of their different nuclear charges. The cation with the greater positive charge will have a smaller radius because of the greater attraction of the electrons to the nucleus. Anion with the greater negative charge will have the larger radius. In this case, the net repulsion of the electrons will outweigh the nuclear charge and the ion will expand in size. Hence the correct order will be Ca
2+ <K + <Ar<Cl − <S 2−
Answer:
The total number of orbitals for a given n value is n2.
Explanation:
For a hydrogen atom with n=1, the electron is in its ground state; if the electron is in the n=2 orbital, it is in an excited state.
