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.

What stresses will shift the reaction to increase the products
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Change in molarity, temperature, volume/pressure depending on the conditions given

Explanation:

It really depends on the type of a reaction, however, we may apply general trends and see every possibility:

  • if we increase the concentration of products, then, according to the principle of Le Chatelier, the equilibrium will shift toward the formation of products;
  • if we have an endothermic reaction, increasing heat will lead a shift to the right and toward formation of products, since heat might be considered a reactant as well;
  • if we have an exothermic reaction, removing heat/decreasing temperature will lead to an increase in products, as we're removing one of our products, heat, and system will try to rebuild the amount of heat lost forming the other products as a result as well;
  • if we have gaseous substances in a reaction, an increase in pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right if we have a greater amount in moles of reactant gases compared to products, this is also known as a decrease in volume;
  • if we have gaseous substances in a reaction, a decrease in pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right if we have a greater amount in moles of product gases compared to reactants, this is also known as an increase in volume.

Chemical reaction to make a foam?​
Dmitry [639]

Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into oxygen and water. As a small amount of hydrogen peroxide generates a large volume of oxygen, the oxygen quickly pushes out of the container. The soapy water traps the oxygen, creating bubbles, and turns into foam.
