6 0

Answer:

1)Oxygen atoms have 8 electrons and the shell structure is 2.6. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral oxygen is [He]. 2s2. 2p4 and the term symbol is 3P2.

Explanation:

2)If the element were to become excited, the electron could occupy an infinite number of orbitals. However, in most texts the example will be the next available one. So for oxygen, it might look like this: 1s22s22p33s1 - where the valence electron now occupies the 3s orbital in an excited (i.e. not ground) state

Consider the reaction pathway graph below.
Alex17521 [72]
Hello!

The reaction that the graph represents is A. Exothermic because Hrxn=-167 kJ

To calculate Hrxn we apply the following equation:

Hrxn=Hproducts-Hreagents=-625kJ-(-458kJ)=-167kJ

Looking at the graph, and at the result of the calculations, we can see that the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reagents, because the sign is negative. That means that the reaction releases energy in the form of heat and that the reaction is exothermic.

Have a nice day!
