How many number of orbitals are in Potassium (K)? 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1

Chemistry
1 answer:
Doss [256]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Each orbital can only carry at most 2 electrons wih opposite spins.

The first 3 shells are fully filled, giving 9 orbitals.

There is an extra electron in 4s, which gives another orbital. (even though it is not filled yet)

Hence there are 10 orbitals.

Describe the ways in which ionic compound nomenclature differs from covalent compound nomenclature
Igoryamba

Answer:

Ionic compound are when electrons are given to another element, making one atom positive and the other negative, so they attract. Covalent compound is when both atoms share electrons with each other.

what is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminum
igomit [66]

Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

calculate the number of coulombs of positive charge in 250cm 3 of (neutral) water. (hint: a hydrogen atom contains one proton; a
Sidana [21]

Number of coulombs of positive charge in 250cm^3 water is 1.3×10^7 C

The volume of 250 cm^3 corresponds to a mass of 250 g since the density of water is 1.0 g/cm^3

This mass corresponds to 250/18 = 14 moles since the molar mass of water is 18. There are ten proton (each with charge q = +e) in each molecule of H_{2}O So,

Q = 14NA  q =14(6.02×10^23)(10)(1.60×10^−19C) = 1.3×10^7 C.

Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body. It is also a measure of the body's inertia, the resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies.
