Answer:

a. [Ar]4s13d10.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the electron configuration allows us to arrange the electrons moving around the atom of an element and equal the atomic number, we can write the electron configuration of copper as shown below:

Cu^{29}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^6,4s^2,3d^9

However, in terms of the argon's electron configuration, which is:

Ar^{18}=1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^6

We infer that the electron configuration of copper in terms of that of argon's is:

Cu^{29}=[Ar]4s^2,3d^9

Therefore, the answer is a. [Ar]4s13d10 because the 4s² can be written as 4s¹ and therefore the 3d⁹ is changed to 3d¹⁰.

Best regards!

Potential energy sample question: A block is sitting on a platform 20 m high. It weighs 50 kg. How much potential energy does it
ioda

Answer:

The potential energy is 9800 J.

Explanation:

given information:

mass, m = 50 kg

height, h = 20 m

to calculate the potential energy, we can use the following formula

PE = mgh

where

PE = potential energy (Joule)

m = mass (kg)

h = height (m)

g = gravitational constant (9.8 m/s²)

so,

PE = mgh

    = 50 x 9.8 x 20

    = 9800 J
