Select the statement(s) that describe the characteristics of transition metals. a. Transition metals have partially filled d sub

shells. b. Transition metals give rise to cations that have completely filled d subshells. c. Group 2B elements are not transition metals because they neither have nor readily acquire partially filled d orbitals.

Answer: The correct option is A,

--> a.) Transition metals have partially filled d subshells.

Explanation:

Transition elements are all metals of economic importance. They are found in the d- lock of the periodic table between group 2 and 3. They occupy three rows, with ten elements in each row. The term 'transition metals' refers only to an element which has PARTIALLY filled d orbitals. Typical example of transition metals include iron (Fe).

They have partially filled 3d orbitals which are responsible for the special properties of the metals. These include:

--> Physical properties: the transition metals have high boiling and melting points. They are hard, dense and lustrous. They are also good conductors of heat and electricity.

--> Chemical reactivity: In the s- block and p-block, the chemical properties of the elements in the same period vary, often quite markedly, from left to right. This does not happen with the transition metals because electrons are added progressively to the inner d-orbitals.

--> Variable oxidation states: they have variable oxidation states because 3d electrons are available for bond formation.

.250 moles of H2O to molecules
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1.51 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of water = 0.250 mol

Number of molecules of water = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

0.250 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1 mol

1.51 × 10²³ molecules

Explain what types of solutions are being combined. Use the terms titrant and analyte in your explanation. Justify your answer.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The titrant is a strong acid while the analyte is a strong base

Explanation:

A titration curve is a graphical representation of the pH of a solution during a titration. The figure in the question shows a particular example of a strong acid-strong base titration curve. This is a titration in which the acid is added to the base thus the pH progresses from low to high.

Hence, the titrant is the strong acid delivered from the burette while the analyte is the base as shown by the titration curve in which acid is delivered to the base.
