Answer:

  D.  Polaris and Sirius are farther away than the Sun.

Explanation:

The radiation intercepted by Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. Polaris and Sirius are substantially farther away than the sun.

Polaris, for example, is about 27 million times farther away, so even though it is 4000 times brighter, we receive on the order of 5×10^-12 as much radiation from that star as from the sun.

We feel less heat from stars other than the Sun because they are farther away.

Which of the following is a reasonable ground-state electron configuration?A) 1s21p62d2B) 1s22s42p6C) 1s22s22p5D) 1s22s22d6
Semenov [28]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Option C) 1s² 2s² 2p⁵</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Ground-state</em> is the configuration of the electrons when every electron of the atom occupies the lowest possible energy level.

The rank of energy of the orbitals may be remembered using Aufbau rules, and it is:

1s² < 2s² < 2p⁶ < 3s² < 3p⁶ < 4s² < 3d¹⁰ < 4p⁶ < 5s² < 4d¹⁰ < 5p⁶ < 6s² < 4f¹⁴ < 5d¹⁰ < 6p⁶ < 7s² < 5f¹⁴ < 6d¹⁰ < 7p⁶

Then, to find whether an electron configuration corresponds to a ground-state one, you must check that the previous order is preserved.

<u>Option A). 1s² 1p⁶ 2d²</u>

The orbital 1p does not exist. So this one is discarded.

<u>Option B) 1s² 2s⁴ 2p⁶</u>

The maximum number of electrons in an s orbital is 2, so 2s⁴ is impossible, and this option is discarded.

<u>Option C) 1s² 2s² 2p⁵</u>

This is correct because the orbitals are filled in the correct increasing energy order, without jumping any one.

<u>Option D) 1s² 2s² 2d⁶</u>

Orbital 2d does not exist, so this option is also discarded.

What is the molecule that formed between B and F?
Alik [6]

Answer:

BF3

Explanation:

For this question, you need to use the number of valence electrons present in each element. Boron is in group 3/13 on the periodic table so you know it has 3 valence electrons while Fluorine is in group 7/17 so it has 7 valence electrons. These elements are both covalent so they will share electrons. All elements in the first three rows want to reach either have 8 valence electrons or zero valence electrons depending on whichever is easier. When B and F interact each Fluorine will only want to take one electron, but Boron wants to get rid of all 3 electrons, so it will bond with 3 Fluorine to get rid of all its valence electrons.

I hope this helps.

Determine whether the reaction will be spontaneous at high temperatures only, at low temperatures only, at all temperatures, or
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The rusting of iron is spontaneous at low temperatures.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is:

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ----> 2Fe2O3(s) [rust]

The rusting of iron is a chemical reaction in which iron reacts with oxygen in presence of moisture and forms iron oxide.

This reaction takes place in a faster rate when there is low temperatures in the atmosphere.

When temperature is low, the moisture in the atmosphere is more and hence, rate of rusting is more.
