-log (1×10^-12) is how you calculate the pOH which in this case is 12
Carbon has a tendency to form covalent bonds.
Atomic number of C is 6. Hence, there are 6 electrons in carbon.
The electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2, 2s2, 2p2
Here, there are 2 unpaired electron. However, C2+ ions have 2 electrons less as compared to C.
Hence, electronic configuration of C 2+ ion is 1s2, 2s2. All the electrons are paired in this system. So there are no unpaired electrons in C 2+ ion.
The glow emitted by a substance exposed to external radiation is called 'fluorescence'. In fluorescence, a fluorophore is exposed to external radiation, absorbs the energy and emits a form of light or glow. The answer to this question is 'fluorescence'. I hope this helps.
