Answer:

a. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d 9 - the element is zinc and this is an excited state configuration

b. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f 14 5d7 -the element is iridium and this is a ground state configuration

Explanation:

The ground state is the lowest energy state of an atom while excite states of Zn atom are higher energy states.

The configuration, 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d 9 applies to zinc atom in excited state while the configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f 14 5d7 applies to iridium atom in ground state.

timama [110]
<span>I am sure these answers are correct cause I've checked all of them. Here they are : 

1) The thing which might h</span>appen to the rest of the water is that 61% of that water leaves the ground through evapotranspiration and <span>38% will flow into the Atlantic Ocean. 
</span>
2) The four states which  receive drinking water from Florida are : <span> South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi 

3) The</span> reason why  people in Florida wanted to get rid of the water in certain areas is abundance of wetlands. I think there is one more, if it is acceptable I suggest you using this - frequent flooding.<span>

4) </span><span> The negative result of the changes which people made to get rid of the water is the first sign of </span>drought.

5) The thing that has been done to try and improve those mistakes was creating a tool which looked like a dam to prevent dfficulties with <span>navigating the state.

Hope that helps.</span>

What factors influence the efficiency of a solar oven?
Anna007 [38]
The more sunlight that is present, the better the oven will be able to produce electricity.  This means that a solar oven will be more efficient on a sunny day than on a cloudy day.  Also, depending on the time of day, if the solar panel is in shadow, the oven will greatly decrease in efficiency.
