How many p-orbitals are occupied in a Ar atom?

Chemistry
2 answers:
adell [148]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Quantum mechanics stipulates that for each energy level, the p sub shell contains 3 orbitals, px, py, and pz. These orbitals are oriented in alignment with x, y, and axis.

Answer:

6

Explanation:

p orbital can hold up to six electron. Argon electron configuration will be 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.

compare the boiling point of water at sea leavel to the boiling point in denver (altitude = 1 mile) Explain
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

boiling point decreases in denver

Explanation:

in higher places

theres less atmospheric pressure

it takes less energy to bring water to the boiling point.

Less energy means less heat

which means water will boil at a lower temperature
