Answer:

<h3>Electronic configuration of Potassium (K) </h3>

Atomic number of potassium = 19

Therefore number of electrons = 19

Since, maximum number of electrons in outermost orbit will not be more than 8, thus the 19th electron of potassium atom will reside in 4th.

Thus, electronic configuration of potassium is

given in first pic.

Number of orbit in potassium = 4

<h3>Electronic configuration of Calcium (Ca) </h3>

Atomic number of calcium = 20

Therefore number of electrons = 20

Thus, electronic configuration of calcium is given in sec pic.

Number of orbit in calcium = 4

Identify the base-conjugate acid pair in this balanced equation:

Elan Coil [88]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

NH3/NH4+

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

From the equation;

NH3(aq)+HNO3(aq)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)

NH3 is the base; while NH4+ is the conjugate acid

HNO3 is the acid; while NO3- is the conjugate base

The conjugate base of a Brønsted-Lowry acid is species that is formed after an acid donates a proton while the conjugate acid of a Brønsted-Lowry base is the species formed after a base accepts a proton.

What does it mean to say an equation is balanced? Why is it important for an equation to be balanced?

Rom4ik [11]

Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.

Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:

Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this

Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil

You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.

How do the valence electrons of an element determine how they will combine with other elements to produce a compound? Please hel

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence electrons are electrons found on the valence (outermost) shell of an atom.

When an atoms form compounds, there is an exchange of valence electrons between the atoms of one element and the atoms of another element.

Let us consider a typical example, sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. This means that chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet while sodium needs to release one electron in order to attain the octet structure.

So, sodium gives out its one electron and becomes a stable sodium ion and chlorine accepts that electron and becomes a stable chloride ion. This is how the compound sodium chloride is formed.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: H2 → H + H What occurs during this reaction? 1. Energy is absorbed as bonds

RoseWind [281]

Answer : The correct option is, (2) Energy is absorbed as bonds are broken.

Explanation :

As we know that the bonds are formed and breaks during the chemical reaction. Some energy is released or absorbed when the bonds are formed and breaks during the chemical reaction.

During the bond breaking, some energy is required to break the bonds.

During the bond formation, some energy is released to the formation of the bonds.

In the given reaction, the bond between the hydrogen-hydrogen in $H_2$ are breaking into two hydrogen. That means during the bond breaking, some energy is required or absorbed to break the bonds.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) Energy is absorbed as bonds are broken.

As a barometer rises, what kind of weather can be expected

suter [353]

When the barometer rises it means air pressure goes up. When that happens there is clear skies and little clouds. So you would be expecting hotter weather.
