Answer: Solids
Explanation:
Solids have a definite volume and structure. These are comprised of atoms, ions, and molecules closely packed together giving a confined structure to the solids. The particles are bound with strong force of attraction. The particles in the solid are arranged in an repeated, orderly, and three dimensional pattern. Depending upon the substance of the solid the particles within the solid can be ions, atoms, and can be molecules.
The correct answers are options C, that is, silver tarnishes and becomes black when exposed to oxygen, and option E, that is, diesel fuel burns when it is heated.
Chemical changes refer to the modifications in which the chemistry at molecular level is modified as the initial substance gets transformed into a new and different final substance. This change occurs with the dissociation of old bond and production of new bonds respectively.
Silver gets tarnished and becomes black when exposed to oxygen. This refers to a chemical change as silver a white and lustrous substance gets transformed into a tarnish black final substance. However, silver does not easily react with oxygen at usual circumstances. It easily reacts with sulfur comprising components in the air and generates black compound as Ag₂S.
Burning of diesel fuel when it is heated. Diesel refers to a mixture of hydrocarbons varying approximately from C₁₀H₂₀ to C₁₅H₂₈. When these hydrocarbons get burnt they generate novel substances, that is, carbon dioxide and water. Hence, it is also a chemical reaction.
Answer: The energy of the 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell.
Explanation:
During the filling of electrons in subshells, the lower energy levels are filled before the higher energy levels. Also known as Aufbau principle.
Energy of the sublevel = (n + l)
where : n = Principal quantum number
l = Azimuthal quantum number(s=0,p=1,d=2,f=3)
Energy of 4-s subshell= (4+0) = 4
Energy of 3-d subshell=(3+2) = 5
Energy of 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell, that is why 4s orbital is filled before the 3-d subshell.
