<h2><u>Full Question: </u></h2>
Which of these elements has four total electrons in its outer p orbitals? A) barium (Ba) B) nitrogen (N) C) silicon (Si) D) sulphur (S)
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>
Sulphur has four electrons in its outer p orbitals.
Option D
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The electronic configuration of the atoms of elements is very much dependent on the energy levels of orbitals. Orbitals are defined as the regions of an orbit where the probability of finding an electron is maximum. 1st shell has 1 orbital which is s orbital, 2nd shell has 2 orbitals s and p, 3rd shell has 3 orbitals s p and d and so on.
In case of Sulphur, its atomic number is 16. So Sulphur has 16 protons and 16 electrons. As each shell can hold a maximum of 2n² number of electrons, where n is the shell number, 1st shell contains 2 electrons, 2nd shell contains 8 electrons and 3rd shell contains 6 electrons.
The orbital configuration of sulphur is 1S² 2S² 2P⁶ 3S² 3P⁴. Thus we can see it has 4 electrons in its outermost p orbital.
Probably Sulfur, low mp and hardness compared to the other metals
Answer:
A proton has positive charge of 1, that is, equal but opposite to the charge of an electron. A neutron, like the name implies, is neutral with no net charge. The charge is believed to be from the charge of the quarks that make up the nucleons (protons and neutrons). need a pictur of the question
Explanation:
Answer:
the overall cell potential
Explanation:
We must bear in mind that the standard hydrogen electrode is a reference electrode whose electrode potential has been arbitrarily set at 0 V.
The standard hydrogen electrode consists of hydrogen ion solution and hydrogen gas together with a platinum electrode.
The overall cell potential is the reduction potential of the substance being determined using the standard hydrogen electrode as a reference electrode since its electrode potential is set at zero volts.
