Answer:

Explanation:

The Electronic Configuration of the elements is the arrangement of all electrons of an element in energy levels and sub-levels (orbitals).  

There are 7 energy levels, numbered from 1 to 7, and in which electrons are distributed, logically in order according to their energy level. Electrons with less energy will be spinning at level 1. Each level is divided into sub-levels. These sub-levels into which each level is divided can be up to 4. These 4 sub-levels are called: s, p, d, f. In the sub-level s there can only be a maximum of 2 electrons, in p there can be a maximum of 6 electrons, in the sub-level d 10 electrons and finally in the sub-level f there can be a maximum of 14 electrons.

In level 1 there is only one sub-level, which will be the s. In level 2 there are 2 sub-levels, the s and the p. At level 3 there are 3 sub-levels s, p and d. And at level 4 there are 4 sub-levels, the s, the p, the d and the f.

Aufbau's principle is a principle of atomic physics, which explains how electrons are accommodated in their orbits around the nucleus of the atom. This principle states that the filling of these orbitals occurs in increasing order of energy, that is, from the orbitals of lower energy to those of higher energy.

The simplest of the sub-levels is 1s. If you fill the 1s you can start filling the 2s. After the 2s sub-level is satisfied, the 2p can begin to fill and so on. The order is:

1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^{6} 4s^{2} 3d^{10} 4p^{6}5s^{2}  4d^{10} 5p^{6}6s^{2} 4f^{14} 5d^{10}6p^{6}7s^{2}5f^{14}6d^{10}7p^{6}

In this way, taking into account the atomic number Z of the element (which represents the number of protons of the element, and in a neutral atom it also indicates the number of electrons), the electrons that it has in the orbitals will be placed following the previously established.

For example, for hydrogen, whose atomic number is Z = 1, its electronic configuration would be: 1 s1. Remember that the number 1 that precedes the representative letter of the orbital indicates the level of energy where the electron is located, the letter s indicates the type of orbital where the electron is located, and the exponent 1 indicates the number of electrons that are located in said orbital.

As the Z number of each element increases, the electrons will gradually occupy the orbitals located at the lowest energy levels.

Which of the following ions is a polyatomic ion?
nlexa [21]
Among the choices, the polyatomic ion is only the third choice, NH4+ where it is composed of nitrogen one atom of nitrogen and 4 atoms of hydrogen. Choice 2 is a monoatomic atom being composed only of calcium. Then, the first and fourth choices are not ions because they are not charged.

A student must make a 3 m acid solution using a 5 m acid solution. which of these is the safest way to make the solution?
weqwewe [10]
The motivation to abstain from adding water to concentrated acids is that, with a few acids, amid weakening, a considerable measure of warmth is discharged, by adding the corrosive to the water, the generally extensive measure of water will retain the warmth. On the off chance that you added water to concentrated corrosive when you initially beginning pouring the water, it could get sufficiently hot for the little measure of water that was filled all of a sudden bubble and splatter corrosive on you. Concentrated sulfuric corrosive is most famous for doing this, not all acids get that hot on weakening, but rather in the event that you make a propensity for continually adding the corrosive to water for every one of them, you can't turn out badly.
