ankoles [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

It could be as a result of evaporation from the hot water causing it to have less mass than usual. Evaporation will allow the volume of the hot water to decrease and by so doing will cool faster than cold water which is at a higher mass. This is how I will explain my observations to them.

Which electron configuration is correct for a sodium ion?
jeka94

The electron configuration for sodium ion Na⁺ : <u>(2) 2-8</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In an atom there are levels of energy in the shell and sub shell

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub shell is

  • s: 2 electrons
  • p: 6 electrons
  • d: 10 electrons and
  • f: 14 electrons

Charging electrons in the sub shell uses the following sequence:

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc. </em>

Determination of electron configurations based on principles:

• 1. Aufbau: Electrons occupy orbitals of the lowest energy level

• 2 Hund: electrons fill orbitals with the same energy level

• 3. Pauli: no electrons have the same 4 quantum numbers

The alkali metal Na will release electrons to form Na + so that the electron configuration is stable as the noble gas element Ne

electron configuration Ne: [He] 2s² 2p⁶

Na electron configuration: [Ne] 3s¹

electron configuration Na + = [Ne] = [He] 2s² 2p⁶

The maximum number of electrons in the shell K, L, M, N

According to Bohr, the maximum number of electrons that can occupy each atomic shell can be calculated by the formula 2n²

  • K shell (n = 1): 2.1² = 2 electrons
  • L shell (n = 2): 2. 2² = 8 electrons
  • M shell (n = 3): 2. 3² = 18 electrons
  • N shell (n = 4): 2. 4² = 32 electrons

If we look at the configuration of the Na⁺ ion:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ then

on the shell n=1 (1s) there are 2 electrons

on the shells n=2 (2s and 2p) there are 8 electrons

So that the configuration

Na⁺ = 2-8

Balance the equations.<br> Zn+ HCl →<br> ZnCl2 +
motikmotik

Answer:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Explanation:

Zn + HCl → ZnCl2 +

The complete equation is given below:

Zn+ HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Now we can balance the equation by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of Cl and 2 atoms of H on the left. This can be balanced by putting 2 in front of HCl as shown below:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
