The correct electronic configuration of vanadium 23 is
1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^3
This electronic configuration is correct because it obeys the Aufbau principle which state that electrons fill the atomic orbital of the lowest energy before occupying the higher level. S orbital can occupy a total of 2 electrons, p orbital can occupy a total of 6 electrons while d orbital can occupy a total of 10 electrons. in the electronic configuration above an s orbital is filled before p orbital while the p orbital is filled before the d orbital .
Answer:
Environment refers to everything that surrounds an individual and interacts between them. The factors that control the environment can be biotic and abiotic.
Humans have greatly affected the environment. Some of the ways in which the environment is affected by humans are as follows-
(1) Humans have constructed industries and factories that have released a huge amount of toxic gases into the atmosphere.
(2) These harmful gases have increased the earth's global temperature. As a result of which the global warming effect has increased.
(3) The waste materials eliminated from these industries mix with the rivers and streams and pollute the water. It degrades water quality.
(4) The fossil fuels are exhausted at a very high rate.
(5) The spilling of the oils in the oceans has affected the marine species drastically.
(6) Due to the extensive mining at different places, soil fertility has decreased considerably.
(7) Cutting down trees for settlement purposes and other infrastructures.
In this redox reaction, the Cu goes from oxidation state of (0) to (+2), therefore it oxidises. N in HNO₃ goes from oxidation state of (+5) to N in NO with oxidation state of (+2) and becomes reduced.
Cu acts as the reducing reagent and HNO₃ is the oxidising agent.
oxidation half reaction
Cu ---> Cu²⁺ + 2e --1)
reduction half reaction
4H⁺ + 3e + NO₃⁻ ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
to balance the number of electrons , 1) x3 and 2) x2
3Cu ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 6e + 2NO₃⁻ ---> 2NO + 4H₂O
add the 2 equations
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O
add 6 nitrate ions to both sides to add up to 8 and form acid with 8H⁺ ions
3Cu + 8HNO₃ ---> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
Balanced equation for the redox reaction is as follows;
3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) → 3Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H₂O<span>(l)
NO has a coefficient of 2
