Tc is Technetium, and it has an atomic number of 43. Its atomic configuration is [Kr] 5s(1) 4d(5) [I'm on my phone so I can't do numbers on shoulders, pretend that 1 and 5 are on the s and d's shoulder]
The outside most ring is the 4d(5), and the d orbital can hold ten electrons.
Valence electrons are electrons, in you could say the outside ring that isn't filled, the extra ones. In this case, there are 5.
Answer:
Explanation:
A stable compound has a net charge of 0. Basically, when added, the two ion charges must equal 0 and balance each other out.
We have one ion with a charge of +4. There is another ion of -2. Clearly, these are not balanced yet.
We need more -2 ions to balance it. If we have 2 ions, then their charge is -4 because:
- 2 * -2 charge = -4 charge
The +4 ion and 2 -2 ions (with a charge of -4) balance each other out and create a net charge of 0. So, <u>2 ions with a charge of -2</u> are necessary to create a stable compound.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
Because if an object is more dense than water it will sink.
Answer:
Ionized molecules will be found in the aqueous layer
Explanation:
The principle of solvent extraction involves the partitioning of a substance between an aqueous layer and an organic layer. The aqueous layer is polar in nature while the organic layer is nonpolar in nature.
All nonpolar substances are found in the organic layer while all polar substances are found in the aqueous layer. Hence, in the aqueous phase, the following species can be found; positive ions, negative ions and neutral polar molecules or ionic substances.
<span> It showed that the atom contains a small dense nucleus. The reason why this can be concluded is that the experiment showed that alpha particles can for the most part pass right through the foil. This showed that the nucleus of the atom is very small and takes up a very small portion of the size of an atom since the nucleus is what would reflect the alpha particle. If atoms were not mostly empty space, the alpha particles would have been bounced back and the opposite of what was observed would have happened (all or at least the majority would be bounced back instead the majority getting through with only a small portion being reflected back).
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.</span>
