The options
Select one:
a. a 3- ion forms.
b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
d. the atom gains five electrons.
Answer:
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
Explanation:
Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.
The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;
1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .
At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as
2 8. The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.
The configuration of Neon has been formed in the process.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
The same amount of matter is present before and after chemical and physical changes. Matter cannot be created or destroyed
Dichotomous keys consist of a series of statements with two choices in each step that will lead users to the correct identification. So I believe your answer would be A.
Given:
Half life(t^ 1/2) :30 years
A0( initial mass of the substance): 200 mg.
Now we know that
A= A0/ [2 ^ (t/√t)]
Where A is the mass that remains after t years.
A0 is the initial mass
t is the time
t^1/2 is the half life
Substituting the given values in the above equation we get
A= [200/ 2^(t/30) ] mg
Thus the mass remaining after t years is [200/ 2^(t/30) ] mg
3.44x10^2
you move the decimal over to get a single digit number with change. The number of times you move the decimal is the number for the 10 power
