Answer:
there is no d electron that can be promoted via the absorption of visible light
Explanation:
One of the properties of transition elements is the possession of incompletely filled d orbitals. This property accounts for their unique colours.
The colours of transition metal compounds stem from d-d transition of electrons due to the presence of vacant d orbitals of appropriate energy to which electrons could be promoted.
For elements whose atoms have a d10 configuration, such vacant orbitals does not exist hence their compounds are not colored.
Sometimes, the colour of transition metal compounds stem from ligand to metal charge transfer(LMCT) for instance in KMnO4.
Answer:
3.89 kg P2O5 must be used to supply 1.69 kg Phosphorus to the soil.
Explanation:
The molecular mass of P2O5 is
P2 = 2* 31 = 62
O5 = 5 *<u> 16 = 80</u>
Molecular Mass = 142
Set up a Proportion
142 grams P2O5 supplies 62 grams of phosphorus
x kg P2O5 supplies 1.69 kg of phosphorus
Though this might be a bit anti intuitive, you don't have to convert the units for this question. The ratio is all that is important.
142/x = 62/1.69 Cross multiply
142 * 1.69 = 62x combine the left
239.98 = 62x Divide by 62
239.98/62 = x
3.89 kg of P2O5 must be used.
