Answer:

Explanation:

When finding the element based on its electronic configuration the subscripts gives the number of electrons in the element.

In the given example total number of subscripts are 16. This means the element has 16 electrons which is equal to the atomic number of the element. hence, the element is Sulphur.

Here, s, p, d, and f are orbitals. So, as per the EC given, 3p orbital has 4 electrons in it. Hence, option (a) is correct.

Since, s, p, d, and f are orbitals and not shells, subshells. Therefore, other options are incorrect.

Which two types of information are written in an element's box in the periodic table?

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Yes it is B,D.

Explanation:

Each box represents an element and contains its atomic number, symbol, average atomic mass, and (sometimes) name. The elements are arranged in seven horizontal rows, called periods or series, and 18 vertical columns, called groups.

2. How is the layer of iridium used to tell the relative age of different rock strata and fossils?

Fantom [35]

Answer and Explanation:deposition has been occurring on earth for a very long time. as time goes by, more deposits form layers on the earth, including the remains of animals and plants that would later become fossils, burying the previous deposits in another layer of newer deposits. therefore it follows that layers which are found deeper are older than those found in layers near the surface....

a titration of 25.0mL of an x M hcl solution with 0.15M NaOH starts at a burette reading for NaOH of 0.20mL . Thr burette readin

VARVARA [1.3K]

Burette is a very accurate measuring instrument when adding solutions and has a measurement error of 0.05 mL.
Small volumes of solutions can be transferred from the burette at a controllable rate.
In this instance NaOH is in the burette.
Initial reading of NaOH is 0.20 mL
end point is the point at which the chemical reaction reaches completion. In acid base reactions, end point is when all the H⁺ ions have reacted with OH⁻ ions.
final reading of NaOH is 24.10 mL
to find the volume of NaOH dispensed we have to find the difference between final reading and initial reading
volume of NaOH added = 24.10 mL - 0.20 mL = 23.90 mL
volume of NaOH dispensed is 23.90 mL
