Answer:

(a) ₁₉K: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹

(b) ₁₀Ne: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

---

(a) 3

(b) 6

(c) 7

Explanation:

We can state the ground-state electron configuration for each element following Aufbau's principle.

(a) ₁₉K: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹

(b) ₁₀Ne: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Second part

(a) Al belongs to Group 13 in the Periodic Table. It has 13-10=3 electrons in the valence shell.

(b) O belongs to Group 16 in the Periodic Table. It has 16-10=6 electrons in the valence shell.

(c) F belongs to Group 17 in the Periodic Table. It has 17-10=7 electrons in the valence shell.

The thallium Subscript 81 Superscript 208 Baseline Tl nucleus is radioactive, with a half-life of 3.053 min. At a given instant,
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: (E) 300 bq

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half life is represented by t_{\frac{1}{2}

Half life of Thallium-208 = 3.053 min

Thus after 9 minutes , three half lives will be passed, after ist half life, the activity would be reduced to half of original i.e. \frac{2400}{2}=1200, after second  half life, the activity would be reduced to half of 1200 i.e. \frac{1200}{2}=600,  and after third half life, the activity would be reduced to half of 600 i.e. \frac{600}{2}=300,

Thus the activity 9 minutes later is 300 bq.

Sometimes Combination reaction takes place sometimes decomposition and sometime replacement.. Can someone say me the conditions
Rina8888 [55]

Whenever any substance goes under chemical change so any of the reaction will happen either both or multiple compounds will combine to produce combination reaction either one compound will decompose itself into 2 or more compounds or elements and last one is replacement reaction the either reaction is not even going to combination nor decomposition, So when a reaction like that happens it must replacement reaction.

Now the question is what's the condition required for it, so basically a chemical reaction when takes place it depends upon several factor on the basis of which we conclude products. The factors are Temperature,catalyst,reagents, either what is the mechanism of reaction, stability of reactants and stability of products and alot more.

During reaction sometimes gas forms and sometimes not yea and well that also depends on the chemical reactivity and stability of product sometimes product found itself most stable releasing the gas evolving so it's been done itself and sometimes we add catalyst and adjust the reaction to extract that gas and get desirable product manually.

I wrote all i know if sorry if this is not what you're looking for :(
