An element with the electron configuration: [noble gas] ns2 (n - 1)d10 np3 has how many_____________ valence electrons.

Chemistry

Marina86 [1]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct option is e. 5

Explanation:

An element with the electron configuration [noble gas] ns² (n - 1)d¹⁰ np³ belongs to the nitrogen group element - group 15 - in a period higher than 2. The element could be As, Sb or Bi. For example, arsenic (As) has the electron configuration [Ne] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³.

The valence electrons are those in the highest energy level, in a s or p sublevel. For the elements with the general electron configuration [noble gas] ns² (n - 1)d¹⁰ np³ has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in a s sublevel and 3 electrons in a p sublevel. The electrons in the d orbital are in a lowest energy level (n-1).

Therefore, the correct option is e. 5.

Is each of these statements true? If not, explain why.(m) For most reactions, ΔH°rnx is lowered by a catalyst.
barxatty [35]

A  catalyst reduces H°rnx in most reactions. The answer is false

<h3>Do catalysts reduce delta H?</h3>

By reducing the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, a catalyst just modifies the route used to go from reactants to products. However, because it doesn't alter the state of the products or reactants, delta H is unaffected.

A catalyst reduces a reaction's activation energy, enabling a chemical reaction to occur. The number of reactant particles with energy above the activation energy increases as the temperature of a reaction rises.

What path does water take as it collects salt while flowing to the ocean?
vichka [17]

Answer:Ocean water is constantly moving, and not only in the form of waves and tides. Ocean currents flow like vast rivers, sweeping along predictable paths. Some ocean currents flow at the surface; others flow deep within water. Some currents flow for short distances; others cross entire ocean basins and even circle the globe.

By moving heat from the equator toward the poles, ocean currents play an important role in controlling the climate. Ocean currents are also critically important to sea life. They carry nutrients and food to organisms that live permanently attached in one place, and carry reproductive cells and ocean life to new places.
