Answer:
The empirical formula is =
Explanation:
Given that:- Mass of nickel = 2.241 g
Mass of the oxide formed = 2.852 g
Mass of the oxygen reacted = Mass of the oxide formed - Mass of nickel = 2.852 g - 2.241 g = 0.611 g
Molar mass of nickel = 58.6934 g/mol
Moles of nickel =
= 0.03818 mol
Molar mass of oxygen = 15.999 g/mol
Moles of nickel =
= 0.03818 mol
Taking the simplest ratio for Ni and O as:
0.03818 : 0.03818 = 1 : 1
<u>The empirical formula is =

Answer: The last electron will be filled in first orbital of 3p sub-shell.
Explanation: Filling of electrons in orbitals is done by using Hund's Rule.
Hund's rule states that the electron will be singly occupied in the orbital of the sub-shell before any orbital is doubly occupied.
For filling up of the electrons in Sulfur atom having 16 electrons. First 10 electrons will completely fill according to Aufbau's Rule in 1s, 2s and 2p sub-shells and last 6 electrons are the valence electrons which will be filled in the order of 3s and then 3p.
3s sub-shell will be fully filled and the orbitals of 3p sub-shell will be first singly occupied and then pairing will take place. Hence, the last electron will be filled in the first orbital of 3p-sub-shell.
