For that you have to use the Aufbau principle
For example, writing the electronic configuration of Fe(28)
I recommend that you memorize the aufbau principle. Once you learn it, you don’t need anything else except the atomic number of the element to write it’s electronic configuration.
Answer:
Explanation:
The Ce metal has electronic configuration as follows
[Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²
After losing 4 electrons , it gains noble gas configuration ,. So Ce ⁺⁴ is stable.
Eu has electronic configuration as follows
[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷6s²
[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷
Its outermost orbit contains 2 electrons so Eu²⁺ is stable. Its +3 oxidation state is also stable.
Ce⁺²
Sand and water can be separated by any of the following methods:
1. Sedimentation and decantation: This method involves the mixture being kept undisturbed for some time. After some time, sand being heavier and insoluble in water, settles down at the bottom of container. Now, water is poured into another container to separate it from sand.
2. Filtration: This method involves the mixture being passed through a filter paper (a filter with very fine pores). Sand particles being larger in size are retained by the filter paper and get separated from water.
I hope this helps! :D
A thermochemical reaction is a chemical reaction with an additional information of the heat of reaction. For example, this is the thermochemical reaction for the combustion of hydrogen gas:
H₂ (g) + 1/2 O₂ (g) → H₂O (l) ΔH = -285.8 kJ
The coefficient 1/2 represents the number of moles of O₂ needed to combust 1 mole of H₂ gas in order to yield one mole of water.
