Answer: C. n = 3, l = 3, m = 3

Explanation:

1. Principle Quantum Numbers: This quantum number describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....

2. Azimuthal Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

3. Magnetic Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as $m_l$ . The value of this quantum number ranges from $(-l\text{ to }+l)$ . When l = 2, the value of $m_l$ will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

A. n = 2, l = 1 , m = 0 is possible.

B. n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 is possible.

C. n = 3, l = 3, m = 3 is not possible as for n = 3, l = 0, 1 and 2 and m = 0,+1, +2, -1 and -2.

I believe the answer is C, n = 3, l = 3, m = 3. The magnetic quantum number, or

<span>ml</span>, can only take values that range from <span>−l</span> to <span>+l</span>, as you can see in the table above.

For option C), the angular momentum quantum number of equal to ++2<span>, which means that <span>ml</span> can have a maximum value of </span>+2<span>. Since it is given as having a value of </span>+3**, this set of quantum numbers is not a valid one.

The other three sets are valid and can correctly describe an electron.

Name the following ionic compounds, keeping in mind that a transition metal cation must include its charge. ____________________

Lilit [14]

Answer :

(a) The name for $TiO_2$ is titanium(IV) oxide.

(b) The name for $BaCl_2$ is barium chloride.

(c) The name for $CuCl_3$ is copper(III) chloride.

(d) The name for $KI$ is potassium iodide.

(e) The name for $SrCl_2$ is strontium chloride.

(f) The name for $CuBr_2$ is copper(II) bromide.

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

3. In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in-front of positive ions.

(a) $TiO_2$

$TiO_2$ is an ionic compound because titanium element is a metal and oxygen element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on tin is (+4) and the the charge on oxygen is (-2). Thus, the name for $TiO_2$ is titanium(IV) oxide.

(b) $BaCl_2$

$BaCl_2$ is an ionic compound because barium element is a metal and chlorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on barium is (+2) and the the charge on chlorine is (-1). Thus, the name for $BaCl_2$ is barium chloride.

(c) $CuCl_3$

$CuCl_3$ is an ionic compound because copper element is a metal and chlorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on copper is (+3) and the the charge on chlorine is (-1). Thus, the name for $CuCl_3$ is copper(III) chloride.

(d) $KI$

$KI$ is an ionic compound because potassium element is a metal and iodine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on potassium is (+1) and the the charge on iodine is (-1). Thus, the name for $KI$ is potassium iodide.

(e) $SrCl_2$

$SrCl_2$ is an ionic compound because strontium element is a metal and chlorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on strontium is (+2) and the the charge on chlorine is (-1). Thus, the name for $SrCl_2$ is strontium chloride.

(f) $CuBr_2$

$CuBr_2$ is an ionic compound because copper element is a metal and bromine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The charge on copper is (+2) and the the charge on bromine is (-1). Thus, the name for $CuBr_2$ is copper(II) bromide.

Which statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is correct? (1 point)

iris [78.8K]

The true statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is; both are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

A basic law in science is called the law of conservation of mass. Its general statement is that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

Both in chemical and nuclear changes, mass is involved and in both cases, the law of conservation of mass strictly applies.

This means that for both chemical and nuclear changes; total mass before reaction must be equal to total mass after reaction.

Hence, both reactions are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

Be(OH)2 is solid why?

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

no it's not solid rather it's an aqueous

Explanation:

B/c Barium hydroxide is used in analytical chemistry for the titration of weak acids, particularly organic acids. Its clear aqueous solution is guaranteed to be free of carbonate, unlike those of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, as barium carbonate is insoluble in water.

Suppose a gas mixture used for anesthesia contains 4.60 mol oxygen (O₂) and 6.00 mol nitrous oxide (N₂O). The total pressure of

julia-pushkina [17]

Considering the definition of mole fraction, the mole fraction of O₂ in the mixture is 0.434.

<h3>Definition of mole fraction</h3>

The molar fraction is a way of measuring the concentration that expresses the proportion in which a substance is found with respect to the total moles of the solution.

In other words, the mole fraction expresses the concentration of solute in a solution as the ratio of moles of substance to total moles of solution:

$mole fraction=\frac{moles of substance}{moles of solution}$
