The electron configuration for Zn2 is [Ar] 3d10 and NOT [Ar] 4s23d8. What experimental evidence has been collected that would al

Answer:

Zn2+ is colourless

Explanation:

We know that transition metal salts are usually coloured due to the possibility of d-d transition.

This d-d transition can only occur when there are vacant d-orbitals. The electronic configuration [Ar] 4s23d8 suggests the presence of vacant d-orbitals and the possibility of the compounds of Zn2+ being coloured.

However, the absence of colours in Zn2+ compounds shows that there is no d-d transition(electronic) spectra observed for Zn2+ because the d orbitals are completely filled. This means that the correct electronic configuration of the ion is [Ar] 3d10.

When heat is added to the substances, the atoms being to?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

atoms move faster

Explanation:

Space is produced when substances are heated. The atoms became extremely energetic and began to move much quicker than usual. When this happens, energy is released in the form of heat, light, and so on. As a result, kinetic energy rises and atoms collide more frequently.

How many core electrons are in a ground state atom of selenium?
Harman [31]
Electrons in an atom can be classified as core electrons and valence electrons. Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in valence shell and participates in bond formation. While, Core electrons are all remaining electrons which are not present in valence shell, hence not take part in bonding.

Atomic number of Selenium (Se) is 34 hence it has 34 electrons with following electronic configuration;

                          1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴

From electronic configuration it is found that the valence shell is 4, and the number of electrons present in valence shell are 6. So, 

             Core Electrons  =  Total Electrons - Valence Electrons

             Core Electrons  =  34 - 6

             Core Electrons  =  28

Result:
          There are 28 core electrons in Selenium.
