An atom that had satisfied the octet rule will have which of the following valence electron configurations?

Biology
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
3 0
The s orbital can hold up to two electrons while the p orbital can hold up to six electrons.
An atoms satisfying the octet rule means that this atom has eight electrons in its outermost energy level (which is the maximum number of electrons that can be found in a single level and makes the atom stable).
For this to happen, two electrons must occupy the s orbital and 6 electrons must occupy the p orbital. This makes a total of eight electrons.

Therefore, the right choice is:
<span>d) both full s orbital and full p orbital</span>

Which of the following is an example of specific immunity?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Immunity to Small Pox

Explanation:

Over the years, Europeans had built up an immunity to smallpox because many had contracted the disease and still survived. As the population grew children were born with some immunity to the disease. When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, and smallpox spread around the native peoples, the Europeans did not contract the disease because they were immune. However, since the natives were not immune, they slowly died of due just to the disease as well as some parts of the war between the europeans.

Answer:

The answer however is yes you can, but you would probably die. The body mechanism for crying under water works just as fine above as below the water. So you can cry tears, they would just be mixed with the rest of the water.

Why can't astronomers measure the parallax of a star that is a million light years away?
motikmotik

One of the methods used widely to calculate the distance of nearby or closer objects in astronomy is Parallax. The distance of the stars are usually expressed in light years but the unit of distance is parsec or parallax second.  

                                        1 Parsec = 3.26 light years

Astronomers are not able to measure the parallax of a star that is a million light years away because the star is too far and the distance with which the start appears to move is too less to be calculated accurately.
