The strong Base with a pH of 12 is reduced by 4 units upon being added with solution Y. If you added a strong acid to the strong base, all ions are present in the solution, yes? So every OH- is neutralised by every H+ for example, meaning the resultant pH should be 7. The resultant pH is only 8 however, so solution Y must be a <em>weak acid </em>only!
Answer:
The excited state electron configuration of an atom indicates the promotion of a valence electron to a higher energy state.
Answer:
Carbon
Explanation:
Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).
It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.
