Find the quantinum numbers n,m,l,s for the last of potassium layer pleasee help explain correctly all
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Quantum numbers of the outermost electron in potassium:

  • n = 4.
  • l  = 1.
  • m_l = 0.
  • Either m_s = 1/2.

Explanation:

Refer to the electron configuration of a potassium atom. The outermost electron in a ground-state potassium atom is in the 4s orbital (fourth s orbital.)

The quantum number n (the principal quantum number) specifies the main energy shell of an electron. This electron is in the fourth main energy shell (as seen in the number four in the orbital.) Hence, n = 4 for this electron.

The quantum number l (the angular momentum quantum number) specifies the shape (s, p, d, etc.) of an electron. l = 1 for s\! orbitals (such as the one that contains this electron.

Quantum numbers n and l specify the shape of an orbital. On the other hand, the magnetic quantum number m_l specifies the orientation of these orbitals in space.

However, s orbitals are spherical. Regardless of the value of n, the only possible m_l value for electrons in s\! orbitals is m_l = 0.

The spin quantum number m_s distinguishes between the two electrons in an orbital. The two possible values of m_s \! are (+1/2) and (-1/2). Typically, the first electron in an orbital is assigned an upward (\uparrow) spin, which corresponds to m_s = (+1/2).

A person with a body temperature of 37°C holds an ice cube with a temperature of 0°C in a room where the air temperature is 20.°
Arlecino [84]
The answer is (2). Heat always flows down the temperature gradient, from high temperature to low temperature. Therefore, since the person is the warmest, heat flows from the person to both the ice and the air. Additionally, since the air is warmer than the ice, heat flows from the air to the ice.

The density of copper is 8.92 g/mL. The mass of a piece of copper that has a volume of 10.3 mL is
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>91.9 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of copper = 10.3 mL

density = 8.92 g/mL

The mass is

mass = 8.92 × 10.3 = 91.876

We have the final answer as

<h3>91.9 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

PLEASE HELP ASAP TAKING A TEST!
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

As a substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas, its molecules first the molecules are moving fast enough, they are able to "escape." They leave the surface of the liquid as gas molecules. Evaporation is not the only process that can change a substance from a liquid to a gas. The same change can occur through boiling.

Which of the following is a possible Noble gas notation? [Xe] 6s26p6 [Kr] 5s25d85p6 [Xe] 6s25d106p4 [Kr] 5s24d105p6
Mice21 [21]

Answer is: [Kr] 5s24d105p6.

1) [Xe] 6s²6p⁶ is not correct, because element with atomic number 62 (54 + 8) is samarium with electron configuration [Xe] 6s²4f⁶.

Xenon (Xe) is noble gas with atomic number 54, which means it has 54 protons and 54 electrons.

Electron configuration of xenon atom:  

₅₄Xe 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁶.

2) [Kr] 5s²5d⁸5p⁶ is not correct, because element with atomic number 52 (36 + 16) is tellurium.

Tellurium (Te) is an element with atomic number 52 (52 protons and 52 electrons), it is in group 16 (chalcogens) and period 5 (principal quantum number n = 5, which means it has 5 electrons shell) of Periodic table.

Electron configuration of tellurium atom:

₅₂Te 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁴ or [Kr] 4d¹⁰5s²5p⁶.

Krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36, which means it has 36 protons and 36 electrons.

Electron configuration of krypton atom:  

₃₆Kr 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶.

3) [Xe] 6s²5d¹⁰6p⁴ is not correct, because element with atomic number 70 (54 + 16) is ytterbium (Yb) with electron configuration [Xe] 6s²4f¹⁴.

4) [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶ is correct, because element with atomic number 54 (36 + 18) is krypton (Kr) with electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ or [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶.
