Answer:
MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.
Explanation:
Alkanes do not form hydrogen bonds and are insoluble in polar solvents e.g water. The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are move away from an alkane molecule and this worsens as their Carbon chain / molecular weight increases.
MgCl2 is soluble in water. Water essentially breaks down the ionic crystal lattice and the resulting solution is slightly basic.
Alcohols are generally soluble in water and this is because of the -OH group and its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As applied to alkanes, as the carbon chain in the alkyl group increases, the solubility decreases.
From the most soluble to the least soluble,
MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.
Explanation:
Scandium has atomic number of 21. This means that in it's neutral state its going to have 21 electrons.
a) The full electronic configuration is given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2
The final electron is placed in the d orbital. The shell is 3d
(b) When scandium has a charge if +1, it has lost an electron. The total number of electrons would now be 21-1 = 20
The electronic configuration would be given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
The electron in the 3d orbital would be removed.
