Answer:
1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵
Explanation:
1) Ca:
Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.
So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.
Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.
Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².
2) Pm
The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.
Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.
The atomic number of Xe is 54.
Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.
The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.
Answer:
8
Explanation:
The atomic number refers to the number which identifies the element, which is the proton number.
Answer:
Explanation:
Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.
The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.
Answer : The final temperature of the copper is,
Solution :
Formula used :
where,
Q = heat gained = 299 cal
m = mass of copper = 52 g
c = specific heat of copper =
= final temperature = ?
= initial temperature =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final temperature of copper.
Therefore, the final temperature of the copper is,
