Answer:

Samarium:

Electron configuration:

Samarium

Explanation:

Samarium is a chemical element that belongs to the lanthanoid series. The lanthanoids are the chemical elements that follow lanthanum. They are all known to possess 4f orbitals. The 4f electrons are found in the antepenultimate shell of the elements of the lanthanoid series and they do not take part in chemical bonding. They are neither removed in bonding nor do they take part in crystal field stabilization of lanthanoid complexes.

The electronic configuration of samarium is; 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f6 while the condensed, short hand electronic configuration is [Xe] 4f6 6s2. This corresponds to (noble gas]ns2(n − 2) f6 as required by the question, hence the answer provided above.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in 27 AI 3-
ira [324]

Hey there!

27 tells us the sum of protons and neutrons is 27.

Al tells us we have 13 protons.

3- tells us that there are 3 more electrons than protons.

13 + n = 27

neutrons = 14

13 + 3 = 16 electrons

27Al3- has 13 protons, 14 neutrons, and 16 electrons.

Hope this helps!

वर्षा का हमारे जीवन में क्या महत्व<br><br>है?​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation.
