Sulfur has two filled energy levels and six electrons on the third energy level. The corresponding electron configuration is A.
B is incorrect because there are no p orbitals at the first energy level, ie, no 1p orbitals. C is incorrect because the 4s1 electron would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals. D is incorrect because the 3d electrons would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals.
O = C = O Straight because there is no solitary electrons on C
An independent variable is the variable you are changing in order to measure the dependent variable, which is what you are measuring.
In this example, the
independent variable: chemicals in solution
dependent variable: temperature of solution
Answer:
Case 1:
X = Any element from Group I
i) H
ii) Li
iii) Na
iv) K
v) Rb
vi) Cs
Y = 1
Case 2:
X = Any element from Group II
i) Be
ii) Mg
iii) Ca
iv) Sr
v) Ba
vi) Ra
Y = 2
Case 3:
X = Any element from Group III
i) B
ii) Al
iii) Ga
iv) In
v) Ti
Y = 3
Explanation:
The general formula given is as follow,
XCly
So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.
If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.
If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.
