Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that the ground state electronic configuration of silicon is ![[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E%7B2%7D3p%5E%7B2%7D)
.
And, we know that when an atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge.
As 
has a +4 charge which means that it has lost 4 electrons. Hence, the electronic configuration of is 
.
According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.
As 2p orbital is filled after the filling of 2s orbital.
Therefore, we can conclude that 2p orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the ground-state ion.
Answer:
3.67 mol Cl
Explanation:
We need to convert g of Cl 2 to moles of Cl. First we divide 130 gCl2 by the molar mass (70.90 gCl2/mol) to find out how many moles of Cl2 do we have.
130 gCl2 x 
= 1.83 mol Cl2
Then we need to convert 1.83 mol de Cl2 to moles of Cl. We have 2 moles of Cl in every Cl2 molecule so we just need to multiply by 2.
1.83 molCl2 x 
= 3.67 molCl
Physical change - No change of matter in this phase
chemical change - All types of phase change occur here
The statue will weather faster because of more surface area.
