Answer:
The answer to your question is Argon
Explanation:
Electron configuration given 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.
Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.
2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18
The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.
Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration
3s² 3p⁶
Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.
Sum the exponents 2 + 6 = 8
Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.
The element with these characteristics is Argon.
Answer: Physical change
Explanation: Condensation is the phase change of a gas to the liquid state. There is no formation of new products so it does not undergoes chemical change. Any phase change is considered a physical change.
Answer:-
Carbon
[He] 2s2 2p2
1s2 2s2 2p2.
potassium
[Ar] 4s1.
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Explanation:-
For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.
The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.
For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.
So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2
Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.
So the short electronic configuration is
[Ar] 4s1.
For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.
So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.
For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
I would say C. petroleum
A is wrong
B is impractical for "mainly used"
D thats too expensive
answer a) the existence of isomers is a reason for the large number of carbon compounds
