Write the chemical symbols for three different atoms or atomic cations with 18 electrons.

1 answer:

7 0

Chlorine has 17 electrons in it natural state but it gains an electron and becomes an anion with 18 electrons. 

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons in its natural state. It loses an electron and becomes K+ and then is left with 18 electrons .

The atomic number of calcium is 20 i.e. Ca has 20 electrons.It Loses 2 electrons and becomes Ca++ and has 18 electrons.

6) What types of atomic orbitals are in the third principal energy

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Types of atomic orbitals present in the third principal energy are s, p and d only .

Explanation:

OPTION A-: s and p atomic orbitals - these two orbitals are present in second principal energy level. Therefore , the option is incorrect.

 OPTION B-: p and d only - This option is wrong as there is no such principal level energy where , s atomic orbital is absent .

OPTION C-: s , p and d only -these orbitals are present in third principal energy level. The third major level of energy has one orbital, three orbitals of p, and five orbitals of d, each of which can contain up to 10 electrons. The third stage thus holds a maximum of 18 electrons. This option is correct .

OPTION D-: s , p, d and f only -There is also a f sublevel at the fourth and higher stages, containing seven f orbitals, which can accommodate up to 14 electrons at most. Therefore, up to 32 electrons will hold the fourth level: 2 in the s orbital, 6 in the three p orbitals, 10 in the five d orbitals, and 14 in the seven f orbitals. This option is incorrect .

Thus , the correct option is C (s , p and d only .)

A sample of cold water was mixed with a sample of hot water inside a calorimeter, and the final temperature of the cold water wa

RSB [31]

Answer: One technique we can use to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process is known as calorimetry. Calorimetry is used to measure amounts of heat transferred to or from a substance. To do so, the heat is exchanged with a calibrated object (calorimeter). The change in temperature of the measuring part of the calorimeter is converted into the amount of heat (since the previous calibration was used to establish its heat capacity). The measurement of heat transfer using this approach requires the definition of a system (the substance or substances undergoing the chemical or physical change) and its surroundings (the other components of the measurement apparatus that serve to either provide heat to the system or absorb heat from the system). Knowledge of the heat capacity of the surroundings, and careful measurements of the masses of the system and surroundings and their temperatures before and after the process allows one to calculate the heat transferred as described in this section.

Is cobalt 60 more dangerous than bananas ( potassium 40) and why ?

maxonik [38]

Answer:

To the best of my knowledge, it is because of the amount of gamma rays is given off.

Explanation:

While both are isotopes, Potassium 40 gives off fewer gamma rays compared to Cobalt 60. Potassium 40 isn't really harmful to humans, but Cobalt 60 (I believe) is used in chemotherapy.
